"hello everyone my name is Bill Ballmer and welcome to today's Visual tour of Microsoft 365 Coilot Office Live Premium Pro Clippy Edition! this is of course being broadcast to all your favourite Zune stations using the Power of Azure, and wow COM-fans I'm just about as hyped up for this demo as I can be. Let's get right into it, shall we?"
