Bill Gates and Napolean Dynamite

I just love seeing the World's richest man and his sense of  humor.  While it is not his sense of humor, rather his marketing team, it is refreshing to see a different type of corporate message.  It unfortunately delves back into a standard marketing piece with references to SharePoint, One Note, Document Workspaces...which is probably the lamest portion.  But to watch Napolean bitch slap Bill is pretty damn funny...

I have also heard that the reason these are never released on the MS site is because of licensing and royalties. The actors and music are only lincesed for playback at the conference or presentation and not for general distribution. I completely understand the need for compensation for the actor(s)/musician(s), but wish there was a way to get material like this out to a broader audience without the illegal use on YouTube.
