RE: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public

That wasn't all he was doing Walden and I thought the same thing at that
point but:

Later in the 90-minute presentation, a product manager demonstrated the
ostensible user-friendliness of a video game expected to hit retail stores
in April, Forza Motor Sport. But instead of configuring a custom-designed
race car, the computer monitor displayed the dreaded "blue screen of death"
and warned, "out of system memory."

Do you really think Gates would pick either of those and not have had them
tested thoroughly before HE went on stage at something like that and got
burned ? 

The point being Windows can and will hose up on you. WAY too much.

OK, I was going to leave this alone, but since the thread has started...
As I understand it he was showing off an yet-to-be released piece of
Nikon hardware w/a still beta piece of MS software. 

Tell you what, let's have IBM demo V5R4 w/not-yet-release EMC disk and
see if anything goes wrong.
