In the silly-marketing-antics department, my buddy Scott forwarded this screenshot around yesterday. It’s from  Steve Ballmer’s Windows 7 launch keynote slides.

In that main triangle of people in the center, the back three rows or so is lifted directly from a photo of the Live Search team. I’m in it — back row, 3rd from the left — so it must have been taken in late 2004 or early 2005.

Scott’s in it too, from many moons ago when he worked at Microsoft. In fact he’s in there at least twice.

Can’t wait for my ship-it award!
