The computer voice is annoying, if you still have the source file, you voice over it.

Also, you didn't include the Bill Gates Rocking Chair video.

Yeah, the computer voice is a bit messed up.  It is supposed to have some meaning that way?

Otherwise, funny...I hadn't seen the quiz video (hilarious) or the Xbox ads (disturbing).

The XBox ads really were disturbing ... most commercials nowadays can be classified as retarded ... but these really are disturbingly retarded. And, Bill really can't take a joke can he ? ... especially if it's on him ... and it makes him look all that much more disturbed and/or evil ... I got that from the ctrl-alt-delete video. I have to confess I assigned ctrl-alt-delete as logoff for GNOME ... I actually needed it once when my mouse quit responding for some reason.

Hey now, it's like Dave Bradley says:
"I may have invented Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but Bill Gates made it famous."

Give credit where it's due; Big Blue, not Big Billy.

That was in the prequel - MS History 2005.

I somehow like 2005 better.

Also, nice Dutch subtitles in the Steve Jobs section.
