That was great, Bill Gates had such an angry look on his face when Conan was joking around with him. He seems so uptight, he should have just played along with it and joked back at him.

You'd think after a while Bill Gates would just avoid the embarassment by not doing this demonstrations himself.....

Reminds me of the time the IBM employee made a jab in front of him about Windows NT and Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Uh... that they're the same basic idea. Gates gets pwned on camera; Gates gets this hilarious hellbent "YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD" expression on his face.phongn wrote:What about it?JediNeophyte wrote:Reminds me of the time the IBM employee made a jab in front of him about Windows NT and Ctrl+Alt+Del.

This link is probably what he is talking about.phongn wrote:What about it?JediNeophyte wrote:Reminds me of the time the IBM employee made a jab in front of him about Windows NT and Ctrl+Alt+Del.
There is more in the video of the event, but I cant find a transcript from some quick googling.Bradley got the biggest laughs when he owned up to being the engineer who developed a hasty way to power down your computer if the screen freezes. "It took me five minutes to come up with control-alt-delete -- the three-finger salute," he said. And then, in a good-natured jibe at Microsoft's sometimes buggy software, he remarked: "I may have invented control-alt-delete, but Bill Gates made it really famous."
Basicly Bradley intended for the ctl-alt-delete combo to only be used by developers and such and didnt expect it to be used for anything else.
The guy comes off as shortsighted and a little stupid over his objections to using Ctl-alt-delete to handle logons & other secure functions under windows. Apparently, Bill Gates doesnt have a very nice expression on his face when Bradley is talking about the key combo.
