I attended the event this afternoon, and overall found it to be interesting, particularly the Q&A session. Gates' response to a question concerning Microsoft potentially collaborating with Google was entertaining.:)
Other moments of note:
A short starring Bill Gates and Jon Heder (of Napolean Dynamite) was shown, which I found to be surprisingly hilarious..
"Where do you want to go today?"
"Wherever I feel like going, gosh..."
XBOX 360s were on-hand, but should have been demoed by a gamer rather than Bill himself; seeing him attempt to fumble through and explain the menu systems was more painful than informative, and seeing him try to take a corner successfully in Project Gotham Racing 3 was humorous, to say the least.:)
