Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite: Together at Last!

One always-enjoyable part of a Microsoft conference is the comedy video

spoof that they show near the beginning of one of the major keynote

presentations. This year’s is no exception. From the 2005 Professional Developer’s Conference and by way of Robert McLaws’ FunWithCoding.Net blog, here’s this year’s video, a riff on Napoleon Dynamite, featuring John Heder reprising the title role [download location 1 / download location 2] — 14.2MB Windows Media]. This isn’t taken from the source video — this was shot from a seat at the conference.

Some stills, taken from Robert McLaws’ site:
