Funny when companies use M$ for production systems. So unreliable for anything other than secretarial duties and gaming.

So unreliable except for what 98% of the world uses it for?

Nah brah, 100% of the important stuff runs Linux. Do your research.

Obviously a stunt.

So obvious in fact that nobody was under any other impression, making this comment essentially a “the sky is blue” kind of thing.

You mean, the stunt that they describe in detail in the article?

Lol, I just went to a Mariners game vs the White Sox (won in extra innings). I love that stadium, and the King Dome before it (rip). I almost never watch baseball on TV, but it’s a lot of fun to go in person, especially with the big screen gimmicks.

Adding to the increased attention: it was Microsoft night at the ballpark, with thousands of fans in attendance with ties to the Redmond-based software giant.

Honestly, my gut tells me this was a stunt.

Edit: Yeah, this is BS; You can hear typing in the video. What, they have a hot mic in the booth? And the article straight up calls it a gimmick. Definitely a stunt.

Hell, the fact that XP is handling an ultra wide display is enough to call bullshit xD

Literally nobody is pretending it wasn’t a stunt. They discuss it in the article. It’s been used several times.

Yeah, I posted a knee-jerk reaction, then followed up with an edit that says exactly that. Congrats for being able to read.

The first thing I noticed. I was confused, thinking maybe they had an old XP machine lying around to plug in after the main one failed, but then I read further and it was just a stunt

If it were real the machine would have rebooted for a forced update and taken 45 minutes to complete before it was usable again.
