The good folks at the MacObserver (some of whom I met at Macworld Boston) have posted a story about this funny video clip. David Bradely, the inventor of CTRL-ALT-DEL was talking about why he created it during a panel celebrating the 20th anniversary of the IBM PC which included Bill Gates.Mr. Bradely said, 'I may have invented CTRL-ALT-DEL, but Bill Gates made it famous,' which just about brought the house down. The funniest part is the expression, or lack thereof, on the face of Bill. He wasn't too pleased, not even when Bradely said, 'I was talking about the Windows NT login..'
Give it a watch and it will give you a chuckle.

That has to be the most priceless video clip that I have ever seen! The inventor of the three finger salute verbally gives Bill Gates the one finger salute. Damn, money can't buy this kind of happiness :)

In other news programmer David Bradley was found dead this morning in a Seattle hotel room. Police reports indicate Bradley asphyxiated after inadvertently lodging several keyboard keys in his throat.

That was hysterical, but after watching it and then reading lee's comment here, I actually teared up laughing so hard.

Very funny.
I'm glad it wasn't a .wmv file or otherwise all of us Tiger users wouldn't have been able to watch it with Windows Media Player.

You would think that one of the richest men on the earth would take that in stride. I suppose he doesn't get put down very often. I guess he is still hurting from all the name calling he suffered in school. GROW UP BILL... rich bastard!

Absolutely priceless!! The (lack of) expression in Gates's face is a killer! excellent editing job, you get to see him just when the audience bursts, in time to fall off your chair. I keep watching this and it kills me every time. Gates' "sure, of course..." is priceless!!!
