June 25, 2012

Last week, Microsoft unveiled its new Surface tablet to the world, although the presentation saw an issue occur with the one tablet.

The company’s new Windows 8-powered tablet appeared to crash during the demonstration by Microsoft’s Windows president Steve Sinofsky.

Sinofsky handled the situation well, although it brought up memories of Microsoft’s infamous crash during the Windows 98 demonstration.

The video has garnered significant attention and has accumulated over 2.5 million views on Youtube.
