The day Bill Gates tried to download a Windows program
Full text: An epic Bill Gates e-mail rant Todd Bishop, who writes the Seattle P-I's Microsoft blog, went back through internal e-mails turned over in antitrust suits against Microsoft to find the record of this day in 2003 when founder Bill Gates got to experience his own product firsthand.
I decided to download (Moviemaker) and buy the Digital Plus pack ... so I went to Microsoft.com. They have a download place so I went there...
...So after more than an hour of craziness and making my programs list garbage and being scared and seeing that Microsoft.com is a terrible website I haven't run Moviemaker and I haven't got the plus package.
Todd quotes at length, and offers a link to the pdf.
But Gates didn't fix it, did he?
