Microsoft the Musical
Lights up on Bill Gates’ room as it might have been in 1969 The papers here reference Bill’s (in)famous ability to jump over an office chair from a standing position There’s a computer mouse in the corner A Hamilton-style entrance for the main character… “His name was Bill Gates!” “Ahaha… wait a second. I’m not Bill Gates.” “Well of course you aren’t Bill Gates!—yet. Bill Gates isn’t a kid anymore. These days? Bill Gates is… more of an *idea*.” the PC revolution is what Microsoft was built on A choreography reference to a series of Surface commercials directed by Jon M. Chu c. 2012 Ariana Grande coming up: cheesy PowerPoint star transition! We’re heading into Verse 2, the gaming verse! The music here references Halo… …one of the largest franchises of all time (70M copies) Forza Motorsport! (~20M copies sold) Minecraft! (~180M copies sold) Gravity doesn’t apply to most blocks in the game Adaptive Controller helps people game no matter their physical ability Xbox consoles are backwards-compatible The magic of Xbox live & voice chat: HoloLens is Microsoft’s augmented reality platform It lets you see holograms… and one of the most famous holograms ever: Azure is Microsoft’s cloud computing platform Amazon, also in Seattle, has the only other major cloud computing product Choreography reference to “Singin’ in the Rain” here And a music reference to Toto’s “Africa” (“I bless the rains…”) coming up: One major breakthrough with quantum computing is the use of 3-state bits (qubits): Two more quantum phenomena: Quantum computers operate near absolute zero (−459.67 °F) Lots of advanced tech is kept under wraps Newer AI agents are going to CRUSH Clippy Former CEO Steve Ballmer is famous for his chant: “developers, Developers, DeVeLoPeRs, DEVELOPERS!!” How is it that everyone here does so much? Right? I don’t get it (Joking:) Maybe there’s something in the water. Hi there! May I please have a latte, but could you add an extra shot of whatever secret ingredient it is that makes people here so successful? One of the most profound lines in 2008 Cult Classic “Kung Fu Panda”… “There is no secret ingredient.” (the strength of the dragon warrior was in Jack Black the whole time) Everyone brings their own. One big problem in access to tech: Another big problem in access to tech: A musical theater classic: Kick line! Microsoft’s mission statement:

If the data scientist thing doesn't work out, there's always a career directing broadway musicals for Liam McGregor.
cringeeeee.
So buying a company that makes something makes you think you came up with it. Interesting.
That was pretty fantastic, excellent production. Bravo!!
So glad they had so much free time… 🙂 Seriously, I love it and our culture change over the last few years!
Shot exclusively on the iPhone X 🙂
Great job interns! That was so entertaining and well done!
a rewarding learning experience I'm sure.
Somebody please run this through songsmith.
Good to see hazing is still allowed
when broadway rejects u but microsoft have to doing nothing at all
Vista and Me
WELL DONE!
Windows phone лучшая мобильная платформа, а Балмер лучший СЕО. Никогда не прощу СатьюНаделлу, он все испортил!
Good, now make your Dev team as amazing as this.
World domination through a musical.
Love it! =D
👌 BRAVO, BRAVO!! clapping fast 👏👏
Holy crap….that was great!!!!!!! Love the humor in its self deprecation; Amazing interns! Still…..I did wish the barista was Bill Gates. Microsoft makes the world go round. #NEVERAPPLE
Fantastic job friends! Y'all are amazing 🙂
At last, Microsft found something they are great at !
Global corporations were already more powerful than many states. They have now their devotees who praise them as if they were praising their god. Creepy…
Pretty cool all the peeps at Microsoft did the music and dance. Nice work!
Impressive to see how musically talented these people are and it's not even the field they work in. Maybe next time you can include some of the non-tech people: janitors, security, maintenance, the people that go unnoticed but help keep the workplace running. 🙂
This video is amazing. So mindfully created and yes the puns were awesome!
3:24 you know they didn't make Minecraft they bought it
I like how they mention the sucky Vista, but not Millennium. They really don't want to admit that piece of software do they
Coming from a Working in IT and builder of gaming Rigs and WS Rigs for professionals – "kinda person", and (Thank You Microsoft Everyday) giving me the ability do this type of work for a living… i really enjoyed this musical. Good Jorb!
If this isn't Neil Patrick Harris' 2013 Tony's Opening–
Thanks to these smart guys. I hope they all get employed by Microsoft, and save Microsoft, as Microsoft is really fxxking up and dying.
Ah jeez, my teacher played this in class today.
no, windows phone are good, no virus and cache
Well …..
"Windows was the bet on which this company was made." Unless one remembers MS-DOS before that, and MS-BASIC before that.
Still running Windows Vista best looking windows ever
I ❤ Micorsoft's interns!
Well done. Now eagerly waiting for MS to utilise the talent of its employees during working hours, too.
très joli , j'aime beaucoup .
So… that's why latest Windows 10 version is full of bugs…
"Kakoi fikys ya zhe ni chego ne ponimau" прикол)
Exactly what Microsoft does, classic musicals, so the things they make use of outdated technology, and when other tech companies live in 2020, they're still coming to y2k.
Type a comment with Surface Book, bored with the surface
I love Android..
Genius, so-so good. Thanks and great-great job you guys!
I was a few tables away from yours during the Hackathon, so I’ve been looking forward to this musical…you guys nailed it! You rock!
I love this!
This is the worst thing to come out of Microsoft since Windows Vista. Looks like they missed a beat with this musical too…
Great job guys 😎
Super legal o musical.
At least Richard Stallman drumming the thinkpad respects my freedom
Excellent and funny.
Can't wait for Microsoft the Musical 2 when the FTC breaks the company up
I guess with all the money they are not paying the interns they can afford to pay for this production. Watching it was like watching a grade school play. It was painful and none of the cast are related to me. Are 90% of Microsoft employees female? Can't they use their creativity to come up with some new products? Excel and PowerPoint are 30 years old.
Did Microsoft bought the rights for doing such productions f from former communist countries.
the protagonist owns a minecraft server
just puttin that out there
We need an official Disney remake
I hope Microsoft workers will make more musicals…
4:10 Is somebody using rhos function?
bits of this bought tears to my eye – it is amazing
Keep calm and use Linux 🙂
I have a headache now
Its gives off a bit of a North Korea vibe. So I'm worried they'll be executed for the vista joke
This is amazing! Bravo team!
Austin
Commercial Executive
Dallas
❤ Linux
Well done! Clearly a lot of hard work went into this.
Wawooo…I love it. Great Job Interns. You all are Amazing.
I use a Linux
😍
Suddenly I want to work at Microsoft
It says a lot that so many think this is laudable.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
feel in love
How about time Microsoft sent out that Windows 10 update payload in March 2015 that reeked havoc on Windows 7 operating systems.
GWX.exe, I bet people who have windows 7 still have it on their PC's. Did Microsoft really get rid of everything when they sent the "patch". I doubt it. Check your folders.
I replied to val42k post but wanted this separate since it is on a different topic.
Why is there a censored line in the credits? During the 'Thanks' section there is a blurred line that quickly disappears to black than comes back again just as it is scrolling off the screen. If someone was removed from the credits why wasn't the project file reedited?
EVERY ONE OF THE 150 MICROSOFT EMPLOYEES WHERE INVOLVED WITH THIS SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!
Bill Gates is not an idea. He's a person. Stop trying to pretend like Bill Gates is the Batman and it's just a concept
NO MENTION OF BILL GATES & JEFFERY EPSTEIN THOUGH!
Full score and commentary is now available for viewing on my channel!

Work on your Windows 10 QA before releasing this crap!
WTF is this? Am I tripping?
This was wonderful
Just got a BSOD while watching this.
I want the Excel t-shirt.
I hope none of actors were forced into this cringy video.
This is ineradicable, really fun to watch. Congratulations folks!
And I’m never using anything Microsoft again…
the future is dark.
What made you think this was a good idea?
Cringe.
Spending time on things like this is why windows search STILL doesn't work half as well as the search function on any Apple product.
How many of these comments were bought?
This is horrible
The future is weak

Baby boomers: So How does this help sell computers??..
Gen Z & Millennials: Computers???
Peter Yang. So is there a John Yang somewhere in there too. lol google Andrew Yang.
I just want to know how your computers are better than your competitors and this answered none of my questions.
Atleast talk about how Macs are overpriced pieces of shit and how for a 32 gig ram machine you can get for 600-1000$ cheaper with windows software than a Mac book air
But that’s me doing my job for you
Stop.
You're making the poor little interns do this? Oh, gosh, it mush be hard to be a Microsoft employee.
Now if only they could sing…
Sy "no" to corporate propaganda, reject mindless consumerism, embrace mindful custom instead!

That's all for me.
