It seemed to be the year of the acquisition and the last couple of weeks has been no different. We kick around what the Microsoft purchase of id8 Group means, Barco getting Projection Design and Harman adding Martin. We talk about a survey by Commercial Integrator asking the question “what is your go-to product”. Some results may surprise you. We end the show by previewing CES 2013.
