  It could’ve been a lot worse…ever see the CURB YOUR ENTHUASIUM segment where Larry David’s character places an obituary that was suppsed to start “Beloved Aunt..”? Maybe that paper was using a MS product.

  ::wipes tear from eye:: That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. The next-closest thing that was hilarious is when the demo for XP or 98 got a BSOD during a press conference when they were showing off what it could do.

  This is yet another notch in the belt for the crash-and-burn of M$ thanks to Vista. ::thumbs up:: Looking forward to seeing this.

  Oh wow, that’s good stuff Doug — thanks for posting that! Nice to see a perspective from inside the conference. I’m glad to know that the demo was good overall — at least it didn’t bluescreen. :)
