Surface freezes in first public appearance (

We were surprised to see that Microsoft’s Surface tablet crashed during its
public debut members of the media witnessing the event failed to cover this
rather embarrassing glitch.

Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft’s Windows and Windows Live Division
was the first person to crash the new highly anticipated tablet. While
showing off the Surface tablet to the public for the first time and
demonstrating Internet Explorer, he makes a few finger gestures that
clearly don’t have any effect on the tablet, which appears unresponsive.
Make sure to watch the video of a keynote from 13:35 till 14.40 to see for
yourself.

To make things worse, he turns the tablet screen off camera hoping to
launch the video application and finally after a few tries runs off the
stage to grab a new unit.  The new demo unit doesn’t refuse to go to the
home screen and it finally lets him Netflix. Hooray, this is the way to
present the new product, take note Apple. To be honest it was not nearly as
embarrassing or amusing as Bill Gates’ legendary Win 98 moment, but it is
still worth mentioning.



The question is:  Why were they surprised?
