RE: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public

But the point is that IBM would never consider demoing something that they 
felt was not ready.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has conditioned us to believe that happenings 
such as this are normal and that all software should be expected to have 
major flaws when it is released.

Our expectations of software reliability were much higher before Microsoft 
came alone.

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.
