satya starts at 13:40, worth listening to for just the crushing awkwardness of this part alone:

the ceo of microsoft talking to a bunch of developers at a microsoft technical conference posted:

good morning! and welcome to build 2018, welcome to seattle, it's fantastic to see you all back here.

you know, this morning i got up and uh i was reading the news, and uh i hear bill gates was talking about stock, um, and he's talking about the apple stock, and i said "wow, in the thirty years since at least i've known bill, i've never seen him talk about stock," but today must be a new day for sure, uh when you hear bill talk about apple stock, so that's the new microsoft for you.

I, for one, welcome our new mouse overlords.
Opening with off the cuff remarks and trying to figure out midway through just where the gently caress his line of thought is going. Wow. That's almost as idiotic as his advice to women in tech to not ask for raises and just trust their bosses to do what's right.

Microsoft gives you brain worms. I know, I work mostly with Microsoft people.

I've had calls with Microsoft employees where after 10 minutes talking I don't know what the gently caress they're talking about. Everything has to be secretive and worded so they don't have any responsibility in anything, it's scary

I've legit had a 1 hour meeting where the dude was talking for 55 minutes and in 5 minutes and one sentence I resumed everything he said and what he wanted

it smells like new plastic, doesnt look too different than the 3rd gen x1 carbon im typing this from

the keyboard seems better though, which is good because my R key popped off on this 3g one about a year ago and ive never bothered to replace it

i got the ultra dock with it, the machine lacks a mini display port connector, but has hdmi, two usb-c

a nvme disk should be nice to use too ,compared to the sata ssd in the 3rd gen

Knowing how much of American business is propped up on Excel scaffolding, can you loving imagine how #disruptive and #forward-looking python in Excel would be?

This shouldn't be a hard sell to a company that really wants to enable everyone to continue to make poor decisions. Python in Excel would enable lot of very poor, long term "here's our kinda ERP." JS weirdness presents a high enough barrier of entry to most poo poo-tier businesses (read: most businesses) that they won't be able to truly gently caress themselves good by throwing their everything into financial_sprdsht_v3.1.1c_final.pyxlsx
