I'd have a hard time believe that even all of ATOT's registered posters could cause an ATOT effect on Microsoft's servers

Wow, image that. An unfinished product isn't perfect. Gee, wonder why it hasn't been released yet.

Some dude is showing Forza on the big screen then it BSOD's with an out of system memory error right in the middle.

hahahahahahahaha. If that happened to me at work in front of our customer, I'd be shot on site by management. How a software house can do things so poorly is beyond me. Incremental builds with future feature sets...it seems liek Microsoft does things all at once. We get core functionality up and demo it to the costomer sometimes then finish the advanced stuff (whcih already exists in a non-functional "shell" in terms of software design). But to demo ANYTHING regardless of maturity and to have it fail is simply pathetic.

EDIT: And yes, they should have done a dry run first. But with POS software, what can you expect. It might have worked several days earlier.

 

[mobobuff]

Never seen a blue screen like that before

The fact that it's unfinished is of no imortance. What is demoed should be a working version that was tagged earlier by the lead developer in the software development control system.

ALL DEMOS SHOULD WORK! This jsut once again demonstrates how poorly run Microsofts software development is. It sounds like people with 20 years experience that will not change their ways when new technology appears (Object oriented being the biggest problem I have sen) are running things. It happens everywhere though. ahere should be a schedual and softwre dvelopment plan and this KEYNOTE should have been a milestone for a working prodduct with a reduced function set. PERIOD! This WAS A DELIVERABLE IN A WELL RUN PROGRAM

Please nominaet me i nthe 2005 ownage thread

sweet :thumbsup:

Yes, because software and games never ever crash. :roll:

OUR SOFTWARE DOES NOT CRASH! There might be a bug, but crashes do not occur. I work for a defense contractor, so that how things have to be, but it's just a development process. Anyone can have a good (mature) developmeent process. There are supposed to be checks, blances, tests and integration tests along the way along with peer reviews. All you have to do is do things properly and software does not have to crash. have a poorly run software development process at a company though and you are in trouble. Ours happens to be VERY good (when used).

[Wag]

I'd like to see a live demo of MS products that doesn't BSOD.

It's a feature.

They didn't show it but it was probably the SDK running on a PC. If you watch the whole video none of the stuff they showed worked right. It was mostly the living room integration stuff (media center). A horrible night for Bill Gates as he had Conan O'Brian ranking on him the whole time.

 

[Argo]

They got assertion failure, which leads me to believe it was a debug build. Assertions are disabled in release builds. Thus this most likely was a beta or even an early alpha of the product. Nothing odd about it crashing, I've often demoed beta products in front of the customers before. We usually warn that this is beta and therefore we can run into technical difficulties. The point isn't to show the customer that product works well, but rather to show off what the product can do.

 

[Modeps]

They were trying to show off Forza too early, it's still in development and no doubt has it's problems that need to get fixed... of course, it's supposed to come out in a month... wait... that means it should be gold... uh oh.

 

[kyparrish]

HAHAHAHA....

that guy handled it well, though
