What was interesting to me was how much it was a showcase of HP, and how little it was a showcase of Microsoft. No where did it indicate that it was "Microsoft surface" or that the small box in the cabinet underneath the printer was the HP Home Server.
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/mshome/gallery.mspx I was surprised at how much HP was seen but Microsoft was no where to be seen.. at all. And you only knew that there was a Home Server in there because the press kit said it was there and I was specifically looking for it.

Granted one has to balance the marketing/sponsorship with the Disneyland venue, but I think Microsoft that has touted the Home of the Future on their press pass page, is missing out on an opportunity here to gain a bit of good vibes/ buzz.
Come on guys... advertise just a little?
