Nice analysis of Bill's presentation. Also includes a comparison of the different presentation styles of Bill and Steve:

It is, as always, not understandable for me what M$ does with all it's money. I mean, even before I started my apprentice ship as media designer I was able to deliver way better presentations than these. Yuck! Embarrassing! Disgusting!

There's not only highest quality graphics, even the text is superb:

"Other Experiences from Microsoft & Others" (bottom right)
