RE: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public

Sorry James, that is what I was alluding to but you state it much more
clearly :-)

The fact that there was a crash in the presentation isn't the issue, 
neither is that they presented non-working software.  The problem is the 
way it crashed.  A bug in a game, now matter how bad, should never ever 
take the whole system with it.  A media application, a word processor, a 
web browser - all of these should never, ever, ever be able to take a 
system down.  The demonstration doesn't show how bad MS games and media 
apps are, it shows how utterly awful and dangerous the MS platform is.
