Bill was not amused, to say the least :rolleyes:

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I think young master Gates needs to stop taking himself so seriously... lighten up Bill, no need to be that pissed... :rolleyes:

[tech4all]

I've been looking for this so I could download it. Thanks! :D

[katie ta achoo]

aaahaahahahahahahahahaahaha

pwned!!!

WOW, Bill looked MAD! :eek:

[MBHockey]

that was absolutely hysterical

[whocares]

Best laugh all week :p :p :p :p :p :p

[spacefreak4]

That was great. Every time I have to press those three buttons now it will be with a smile on my face. But that will go away fast, as my anger with Windows will once again take over...

[andiwm2003]

that was great. is the guy still alive? i maen given how bill looked at him.....

[EGT]

:eek:

My God! Why is bill such a tight ass? He's right though! :D

[JupiterTwo]

I don't get the problem here. The guy laps it up lauding himself on how he 'invented' a way of causing a software restart, then proceeds to try to take the piss out of Bill. What else is Bill gonna do but be a bit peeved? I know you're gonna come up with different responses, but in reality how else is he gonna react?

It's good for a giggle, but Mr G's an easy target. If only Steve was in charge of such a company...

[jiv3turkey748]

man that was awesome i loved the look on bills face

[Don't panic]

...but in reality how else is he gonna react?

laugh?

[Jay42]

That is an absolute classic. No way Bill was faking that expression. One of those somewhat subtle comments that has a huge impact.

[Lacero]

The goodness in me whats to believe logging into NT made Ctrl-Alt-Delete famous, but I can't help stop smirking. :rolleyes: :D ;) :p :cool: :)

[JDar]

and Ctrl-Alt-Del almost always worked. Not quite, but almost.

[AtHomeBoy_2000]

That was AWESOME!!!

Bill had this look like "i'm gonna 'Control Alt Delete' you, you f*#@in twerp."

[Dr. Dastardly]

I half expected him to just whip out some remote and fry the guy with some sort of moon laser! :eek:

This brings up an interesting topic. Would you rather be the richest/least respected man in the world or the most respected man, but not the richest? That's the paradox that is Bill Gates.

I never knew Bill Gates wasn't respected ... The Poor man! :p

[Duff-Man]

Duff-Man says....for those that do not remember, in the early versions of OS X - I don't recall exactly in which build it got removed - if you did a cntl+alt+del you got a pop-up that said "This is not Windows" ....oh yeah!

[stevietheb]

That's awesome, Duff-Man...I'd like to see a screenie of that...I'd also like to bring it back.

This video is great...anyone know where I can find Windows going blue screen during Bill Gates' keynote address?

If being respected but not being THE richest in the world meant I still had enough money that I could retire somewhere nice, definitely most respected :D

[mad jew]

Does Bill also get the credit for making the colour blue famous?

Gotta love those blue screens...

Wow, I didn't know that. Got a screenshot?

[Jedda]

Haha.

That was super. Made my day.

[Lacero]

Poor Bill. He'll never get respect.

[Duff-Man]

Wow, I didn't know that. Got a screenshot?
Duff-Man says...sorry no I don't have any screen shots....I would have to reinstall one of those old builds....but surely there must be some shots of this out there somewhere....it was quite the little joke at the time....oh yeah!

[iindigo]

Aww man it's down... anybody got a mirror?

[tech4all]

Aww man it's down... anybody got a mirror?

Works for me....

[iindigo]

Works for me....

OK now that's odd - a minute ago it said it couldn't be found :confused: This video wouldn't be hosted on a Windows server by any chance would it? :p

[ldenman]

thats awesome!
good way to get cheered up.

[FadeToBlack]

Cool, man. I'll have to find some screenshots of that somewhere. I'm sure they're out there.

[Jedi128]

Anyone that uses an older version of OSX just type those keys and see if it works!!! Then send a screen shot to us!

[Jedi128]

I tried it on 10.2.8 and 10.4.1 and it doesn't work on either..... need an earlier version.....

[ham_man]

What would have been real funny is if Bill had just hauled off and beat the crap out of that guy. Or Bill's bodyguards :rolleyes: . We can't go around talking bad about Microsoft can we...? ;)

[quackattack]

Wow, come on Bill, you gotta be able to laugh at yourself a little bit... jeez.

[mac-er]

Wow, come on Bill, you gotta be able to laugh at yourself a little bit... jeez.

We have all established that Bill G lacks any sense of humor or social skills....his encounter with Conan O'Brien proved that.

[Applespider]

You mean he's serious when he says Windows has never been more stable or secure? :eek: ;)

[quackattack]

Not sure what you are talking about but please, someone, tell me you have a video?

He's talking about the Longhorn demo at CES in Jan. Conan was the MC. It was a disaster, nothing worked right! Conan tried his best to keep it going. Wish I had a video, it is a must see.

What is "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" translated to a Mac? Last time I was using iPhoto I decided that I could as well run a slideshow while I was importing pictures from my digicam. This was probably not such a good idea, because I wasn't able to stop the slideshow anymore. iPhoto simply didn't react on the keystrokes anymore, and it was in fullscreen mode. So all I could do is turn my Powerbook off holding the Power button for 2 seconds..

Musta been really early. Apple has a no Easter Egg policy for security reasons. But if you hold the shift key down while activating a User Interface event... its cool. (Exposé, Minimizing, etc.)

[Shmanky]

Anyone know what event this was?

Better question would be the choice between richest & least respected and most respected & poorest.

Of course if you were the most respected you couldn't possibly be the poorest anymore than the least respected could ever be the richest.

I don't have a definitive answer on who I least respect but there's a lot of people in front of Bill on the list which makes him neither the least respected nor, I believe, the richest.

Apple+Option+Escape
