  why????

  that's awesome! what you gonna do when windows logo changes ever so slighty again?
  
  
  

• 

  Wait wait wait. So did they actually get tattoos or was it fake? I only ask because everyone got credited (including the tattoo artist) and because of the way the video was made.
  
  Even if not, that was a very nice looking tattoo.

  I actually expensed it to the Marketing guy's cost center. If they change the logo BEFORE we ship Vista I'll just expense the touch up as well.

  That's stupid, what if Vista turns into a VS2005 flop?

  "Rule #1 if you never tell someone their tattoo looks bad, it's like calling their baby ugly."
  
  What do you mean "if"?
  

• 

  It's real, I had it done about 4 weeks ago during a slow Monday afternoon.  The tattoo was done at http://slavetotheneedle.com.  I'm glad you like it but then again you have to say that.  Rule #1 You never tell someone their tattoo looks bad, it's like calling their baby ugly.

  I see alot of painful laser treatments in your future.
  

  
  
  Perhaps that's why you don't have a tattoo?

  Now that's just crazy talk!

  I'm so impressionable I'm going to print "Coka Cola" along my * and the McDonald's crazy clown dude on my back! ... Then I'll be a corp's * for sure!

• 

  Was the bad (I need to watch my language) music intentional?  Or am I just being biased?

• 

  Whether Vista is successful or not isn't the point. The point is that he was part of the team and it's a reminder of the job he's done and probably spent huge amount of time on.

  on your forehead.

  Why not just hire someone (main requirements: no pre-existing tattoos and you must sign The Waiver) as a product evangelist whose only purpose is to get tattoos of MS product logos whenever they update?  Pay them ~40k a year to just get tattoo'ed and allocate $300-ish per tattoo x 10/year.

• 

  Why the tatoo is only black, I'd like to see more colorized tatoo, whatever, you are very brave, it hurts, huh?
  

• 

  Skip to the end, she colored it in.

  I hope it was henna

  The real question is:
  
  Do you conform to the Windows Logo Requirements?
  
  

• 

  That's hardcore man.

  I think the black people are same to us, some are kind and smart, but also there another are evil or dumb. I have watched the movie <Hotel Rwanda>, that's terrible, do ask how could I become some people like those beasts!
  If you are a black people, I think you are a little self-contemptuous, if not,  you are  trying to avoid the situation like this in every conversation, that shows there the black people are difference from us from your deep mind.
  Whatever, you are on the right way, and so do I.

  What does that have to do with anything?

  You live dangerously.  It's only a matter of time before an MS corporate lawyer shows up at your doorstep, slaps an injunction on you for trademark infringement, and demands that you have your arm amputated.
  

• 

  What I want to know is, does Mike meet the HCL? 
  

• 

  That is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while
  

• 

  I always thought that Windows NT Logo, was sort of a tribal design, would have made a good tattoo.

• 

  right next to it you should put a channel9guy tattoo

  "what happens if you like some other operating system better in the future?" you mean like the 1984 Mac OS? yeah, an Apple logo looks better. looks as good as the OS it is.

•
