Ballmer's Vista Keynote. On the lame side

I don't think it's a reason to "knock" Vista, although I agree that the shutdown choices are confusing. Are ex-Microsoft employees allowed to make public this sort of thing? I would have thought that their contracts prevented them, and that they are bound to this even after they have left Microsoft.
