This is a demo for a feature of an operating system that is supposed to ship in six months.

Microsoft blames "ambient noise". Fair enough, I've seen it happen before. But why are they showing this crap to the financial analysts? Is Microsoft trying to drive their stock price down? It's mind-boggling stupidity on Microsoft's part.

I was at a Microsoft presentation recently for a released product and not only did the product crash, it was unkillable even via the Task Manager.

The demonstrator ended up rebooting and starting an entirely different Microsoft product in order to complete the presentation, saying something along the line "Well, this program can do pretty much the same thing..."
