It's a great sight to see when a politician gets a pie in the face, but when the keynote speech of Micro$oft's CEO Bill Gates goes awry due to glitches in his own operating system, it is a truly golden moment. Yesterday, Gates held a keynote speech at the 2005 International Consumer Electronics Show, where he was demonstrating digital photography. His computer froze when he connected it to a soon-to-be released Nikon digital camera. Later in the presentation, a product manager was demonstrating a video game that is currently in development, when the dreaded "blue screen of death" appeared on the big screen.
You might say that little faux pas would be about as embarrassing as being pied. If Micro$oft's software can't work for their own CEO, I've lost all faith in their products and services.
