After learning of Microsoft’s plans to stop holding CES keynotes following the 2012 edition, the immediate attention turned to this: would it not use its last opportunity at the main stage to make an enduring impact? Evidently, that answer is “no.” We’ve confirmed with the corporate that Steve Ballmer should be “focusing a lot on Windows Phone and the its Xbox / entertainment story,” while also sharing “momentum from around the company for Windows, Office, Bing, etc.” Ultimately, we’re told that there “won’t be significant news, but more of a wrap up of the strong year the corporate has had in consumer.” We’ve a choice out for further clarifications (in addition to questions about whether another BUILD , MIX or another spinoff event will take the theoretical place of CES), and we’ll make sure you update as we learn more.
