Microsoft Windows 2000 release

Wish I still had the link to the original article... This quote is from an article written by a Mac guy at a Windows 2000 release event, talking about these rollerblanding microsoft "cheerleaders":

"They all wore blue denim shirts with the Windows logo. And they wore Rollerblades -- all the better to skate around the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, whipping the bleary-eyed crowd into a high frenzy. Only this crowd didn't seem willing to be whipped.

"Microsoft rocks!" It was a voice just a few feet away from me -- a short-haired, pixie-like girl, not entirely unattractive save for her apparent lack of a soul."
