The head of Microsoft in Spain is drawing laughter and applause from the dais at Evento Blog Espana (EBE07). Not sure what he' saying, but he just showed a really funny clip of what the iPOD packaging what have looked like if it had been done by Microsoft, who would have named it the iPOD for Windows XP 95 and would have filled the box with charts, legal disclaimer and awardicons.
