Ctrl - Alt - Del: The Origins

David Bradley talks about the origins of Ctrl-Alt-Del and there is a fabulously funny quotable line in there.

I won't spoil it, but take the 30 seconds to watch the clip:

Harsh!

Don't think Mr. Gates appreciated that very much. That is as close to a glare I have ever seen him give.

Oh .. he got the joke alright. You bet he did. It's one thing to be able to laugh at yourself. It's another to be blind sided and made the butt end of a joke on stage at a conference.

Of course, if he was more of the extroverted type of guy, you would always have a snappy reply at the ready! :approve: Or if not, just laugh like Beavis hehehehehe
