Obviously this is a bad move from Microsoft and someone needs a serious talking to in the Norwegian marketing department, but having seen so many pieces on this I can't help feel that it's all being a little overblown, especially bearing in mind that the company is now being run by the guy that brought you this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6304687408656696643

Amen. The content aside, the whole performance was just so puerile I have to wonder who they thought their audience was? The dancing was straight out of "The Wiggles" that my son watched when he was 3, and the singing/lyrics seemed to be trying to titillate pre-pubescent high schoolers more so than getting developers pumped up.

FWIW, CSS is a bad trip and XML does leave me drained and burnt out.
