Microsoft Holds iPhone Funeral Event

Posted by samzenpus on from the buried-alive dept.

theodp writes "TechFlash reports that Microsoft celebrated the completion and upcoming launch of Windows Phone 7 on Friday with a 'Windows Phone Pride Parade' complete with zombies, a 'Thriller' Dance, and pallbearers carrying a giant iPhone. 'These kind of "ship" parties are common throughout the industry,' explained Microsoft communications VP Frank Shaw. 'It's a great way for teams that have worked overtime to create a kick-ass product blow off steam and have a little fun.'"

    A bit off topic, but I'd like my fellow slashdotters to do me a favor...
    If anything ever happens to me, pour out a 40 into the gutter for a money makin' thug.
    Then pour out a caffeinated beverage into the gutter for me. I'd prefer RockStar, but Monster or even English Breakfast Tea would suffice.
