Gates Nose-Dives at CES

Posted by michael on from the look-out-below dept.

Lots of submissions this morning about Bill Gates' performance at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show. His Media Center PC presentation crashed. (The presentation is online.) He also gave an interview to CNET, where he described anyone who doesn't support ever-increasing intellectual property laws as "communists". Boingboing has some commentary on that interview as well.

    From the article: 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."

    I haven't seen a BSOD in years...literally. Not since windows 98.

    Of course you don't have to restart it -- it restarts itself all the time!
