This is from 2007 when I was crashing the Windows Vista Launch event. I was walking past Best Buy in downtown Manhattan when a large crowd of photographers caught my eye. It turned out a guy in a bright red sweater was there presenting the then-new Windows Vista OS. I certainly didn't have an invitation, but I was carrying my Nikon D-7000 with a tele-zoom lens. Apparently, that was enough to get me mistaken for a member of the press – which I definitely wasn't! I really should have bought that #10000 Windows Vista box. 😂 </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/SteveBallmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SteveBallmer</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/WindowsVista" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsVista</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYC</span></a></p>

kurtsh<p>BTW I loved Steve's advice to his younger self in the past:</p><p>✅ Optimism is a force multiplier. Be enthusiastic &amp; make sure people follow. Don't let up... be relentless. But remember that a lot of this is luck.</p><p>✅ You can't miss the waves. Recognize them &amp; ride them. We seized upon the PC wave, the Internet wave, the Cloud wave, the AI wave... yes, we didn't seize upon the Phone wave. We saw it but we didn't execute on it.</p><p>Just make sure you don't miss the next one!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/steveballmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>steveballmer</span></a></p>
