Why on earth is it so hard to find video of the keynote? Here we have a genuinely exciting product announcement with a brilliant "one more thing" hook, and I can't find the video. Microsoft should have it plastered over every news outlet in the world.

I found the video below (with 97 views!?), which makes me really want a Surface Book...and then it cuts off RIGHT BEFORE the big reveal! Microsoft seems to have caught up to Apple in terms of hardware, but it seems they still have a ways to go in marketing and PR.

Here [1] is the second part of the presentation, featuring the complete video (which you can find here [2]). I actually think the way they presented the device during the keynote was brilliant: present it first as a "regular" laptop, then revisit the presentation immediately and reveal the device as what it actually is (a tablet pc with a base). Even if you could rather easily see it coming, I think a lot of minds were blown at that moment.

It's at the same URL as the live stream:

http://www.microsoft.com/october2015event/en-us/live-event

But yeah there should be a big link right on the front of Microsoft.com to watch the recorded event.


Microsoft, always half-baked.
