First hand report on the crisis

In reference to this thing I've spent all day on, there was an interesting report from a denizen of the Smalltalk IRC channel - apparently, a guy from MS was speaking on the topic in Switzerland today. I've replaced the guy's IRC handle with anonymous - if you really want to hear directly, visit the channel. Anyway - I report, you decipher:

[14:35] <anonymous> that microsoft presentation was so bad
[14:36] <anonymous> (how bad was it?)
[14:36] <anonymous> indescribably bad
[14:37] * anonymous is low on metaphors
[14:37] <anonymous 2> what presentation
[14:38] <anonymous> this guy http://blogs.msdn.com/jackgr/
[14:39] <anonymous> 50 minutes on "hey, look, a software productivity crisis"
[14:39] <anonymous> 10 minutes of Visual Studio screen shots
[14:39] <anonymous> 15 minutes of questions
[14:40] * anonymous was shut down by the moderator for flaming microsoft
[14:40] <anonymous> and I'm supposed to be one of the pro-MS guys
[14:40] <anonymous> so much for my rep :)
[14:40] <anonymous> hey he did say that MS was adding Smalltalk protocols to C#
[14:40] <anonymous> good god, whatever that means
[14:41] <anonymous> totally unprompted by any Smalltalk reference whatsoever
[14:41] <anonymous> 93% of the audience was saying "wtf?"
[14:41] <anonymous> the other 7 guys were cheering that he mentioned Smalltalk
(but still not knowing what the hell he was talking about)
[14:43] <anonymous> someone asked if any of this stuff worked with Unix or Linux
[14:43] <anonymous> he said that if we had Unix questions we should talk to SCO, and if we had Linux
questions we should get the community to implement it for us
[14:43] <anonymous> really shot his credibility to hell
