How the stars aligned against Microsoft at CES 2011 | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
This year’s Consumer Electronics Shows was one of the biggest and most substantive in years as tech companies showed off some legitimately breakthrough products and transmitted a general sense of enthusiasm about the future and the innovations that are coming down the pipeline.
However, one big player that noticeably missed the boat on the big trends and failed to generate much enthusiasm was Microsoft. That’s why I put Microsoft on the losers list in my post on the biggest winners and losers of CES 2011. Some people have questioned that choice, arguing that Microsoft just had a big success with Xbox 360 Kinect and announced Windows 8 for ARM at CES.

CES 2011: The biggest winners and losers | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
The Consumer Electronics Show is the Super Bowl of the technology industry. As much as industry analysts and the tech press whine about CES being too big and being a relic of a bygone era, there’s no better place for tech companies to make a big splash that will be remembered throughout the year, and in some cases for years to come.
It’s also the place where tech companies can jockey for a better position in the market by generating more attention for their product line than a competitor’s. Conversely, companies that don’t make a good showing at CES can risk creating an impression that they are falling behind and risk having their products get lost in the crowd.
As such, every CES has its winners and losers. Here is this year’s scoreboard.
