Bill Gates talks about the Xbox 2, reveals precious little

Billy G. might not have felt like chatting much about the Xbox 2 during his
keynote address at CES last night, but he did mention a few things in an interview he gave with CNET yesterday. Unfortunately they're all basically generalities, like how they want the Xbox to be the hub of people's "digital lifestyle" and how they want to get there with the next generation product (notice how he never actually calls it the "Xbox 2" or by any other name?). Otherwise it's mainly details we already knew, like that ATI and IBM are their chip partners, or that they're not planning a handheld, saying that Sony's focus on the
PlayStation Portable
could make it easier for Microsoft to win the next-generation console war that's looming.
