    MS Should hire a public speaker

    Right now I'm watching the Windows Mobile Keynote from the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference as linked to here:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2008/07/10/view-the-windows-mobile-keynote-from-the-microsoft-worldwide-partner-conference.aspx

    Count how many times Andy Lees and even the demo speaker goofs up on the speech or says "Uhm" or "Uh".  Do the speakers ever smile or show any kind of enthusiasm?  Where's the confidence and passion?

    Even though some of the information could probably be pretty exciting, it's presented in the most boring and unimpressive way.

    Maybe this guy is available...

    This guy could definitely sell you anything - too funny !

     

    It is a shame that not everyone can deliver a speech with enthusiasm and poise, but public speaking must be one of life's biggest challenges Embarrassed

    Thanks for the heads up about Andy's address, Adam. I found the transcript, and I believe it's been edited a bit to clean up some of those "live" moments... There's some good information, as well.
