Ha... that was great. I especially enjoyed the dubbing while waiting outside the bathroom, and "The Gu" cape and of course, wrestling the bear

Ha ha..really very funny I am very happy to see this on the Microsoft website as this make you looking like normal people (though you are normal) . I would go even further..

In any case I like the gentleman in this video and I might employ him. So who is actually that guy in the video?? ha ha

Would you give him up???

wow.

That's pretty much all I have to say.

I thought it might be some interview on how he "actually" prepared for the mix09 keynote, but then again off course it's a spoof.

I can't believe he couldn't find some time to write on his blog. What are we going to do with our life's if the gu is not blogging?
