I don’t pay any attention to Microsoft presentations (even bad publicity, is good publicity) but this is to good to be left alone! In a roomful of analysts and reporters, Shanen Boettcher (Windows Vista product manager) tried to write a letter to his Mom on Windows Vista, using voice-recognition. The result was one of the worst (the infamous Windows 98 demo crash) Microsoft product demonstrations in recent memory. Boettcher began by saying, “Dear Mom,” but Windows Vista couldn’t understand. Repeated attempts to correct it failed. Eventually, the letter to Mom went like this:
…Dear Aunt, let’s set so double the killer delete select all…
Boettcher weathered the chuckles and said,
…I’m glad you had some fun with that at the end. I sure did…
So for anyone who didn’t catch this hilarious video yet: the Windows Vista demo goes awry.In the Muppet Show there was a swedish chef, somehow this video did me remind of him? Here are some episodes on Google Video:
Enjoy!
