Actually forgot to put this in my last post but that guy seemed a bit too nervous or embarrassed.

I guess I would too if I would have to showcase Internet Explorer on a new product.


It's the guy most likely to succeed Ballmer as CEO, and he's known to be quite the hardliner, I'm actually suprised he kept his cool on stage. :P

Yeah, I don't think they really give a shit. It's not like any of those other embarrassing things ever almost bankrupt them or anything. Dude was probably like, "man I just fucked up, oh wait, I'm rich bitch lol, here comes another billion".



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Ahh, Windows 98, that brings back memories...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

OMG! 3 things in just 15 years and one of them was not even worth mentioning.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

i would have just laughed it off and said 'of course this is going to happen, 1 sec'

I wonder how many backups they had strategically hidden behind stage.

If this actually bothers anyone who wants one of these (after the conference I do!) that is pretty weak.

Isn't such a thing not bothering you setting he bar pretty low? I mean, at lest in live presentations they should have Explorer load a page that would not crash it.

I hear that windows 8 beta has the nasty habit of freezeing often. Makes those who devleop apps for these things refere to MS products like in the "good ol days".

If the tablet would have burst into flames, sure let it bother you.  Its the same with other gaffs, like 360 Conference last year, or the (rather funny) Wonderbook not working at Sony's E3 this year, or how about Zelda from the Nintendo conference not working basically at all?  These things are minor and should not bother people, nor keep them from buying into these products. 

Now, if the MS tablet/PC/Surface/Thinggie was in production right now and did this?  Sure, but my Smartphone locks up from time to time and I do not see any reason to get another one.
