"I speak with the companies that send employees to the fair, and this time, only two instead of ten", says James McQuivey of Forrester Research market research institute. "The fair is only a shadow of itself." Last year 140,000 visitors came to the CES, where the offers were presented by 2700 exhibitors. If the fair on Thursday the 42nd Time opens the gates, it will be again as many exhibitors taking up less space than before, however.

But this time there is no new device category that provides for revival, like last year with Navis and GPS receivers. The time change is already evident at the opening speech: Instead of retiring Microsoft founder Bill Gates is the first time this year, Steve Ballmer keep the traditional opening speech - from his speech on Wednesday evening, details to the next Windows operating system are expected to 7th With such support, the CES has a good chance to survive turbulent times.
