Una razón más porqué Microsoft será pronto irrelevante

Hoy cuando Bill Gates estaba mostrando nueva parfernalia de su compañía a la prensa en Las Vegas, sencillamente su software le falló. Parece que ser el hombre más rico de la Tierra no tiene importancia para el software mal hecho...

"During a demonstration of digital photography with a soon-to-be-released Nikon camera, a Windows Media Center PC froze and wouldn't respond to Gates' pushing of the remote control.

Later in the 90-minute presentation, a product manager demonstrated the ostensible user-friendliness of a video game expected to hit retail stores in April, Forza Motor Sport. But instead of configuring a custom-designed race car, the computer monitor displayed the dreaded "blue screen of death" and warned, "out of system memory."

The errors - which came during what's usually an ode to Microsoft's dominance of the software industry and its increasing control of consumer electronics - prompted the celebrity host, NBC comedian Conan O'Brien, to quip, "Who's in charge of Microsoft, anyway?"

Gates, who was sitting next to O'Brien on a set staged to look like NBC's Late Night set, smiled dryly and continued with his discussion..."

Y luego dicen que por qué Firefox lleva más de 15 millones de downloads...
