They mandated the color of pants speakers wore.
Am I really reading this? Wow.
- BrentOzar 13y agoKhakis, with brown shoes. Not tennis shoes, although trendy sneakers (but not athletic shoes) would be considered. The most insulting part: the Microsoft keynote speakers - MS employees - were in jeans and track suits. They were trying to look approachable. Hilarious because you couldn't approach them and ask a question during keynotes.
- CurtHagenlocher 13y agoI'm a Microsoft employee who has spoken at one TechEd and staffed a booth at another. Rest assured, the style cops were all over us to conform to the dress code. I can believe that there's a different standard for keynote speakers, who are usually notable or "important" in some way.
- skeletonjelly 13y agoThe colour was fine for an emperor. We know who wears the real pants in this "relationship".
- bittired 13y agoApparently you were really reading that. I don't think dress code is out of the question though. Thong swimsuits would be a horrible thing to speak in.
- sytelus 13y agoNop. Have you seen the talk on SOAP fro Don Box (another Microsoft employee): http://blog.mattmags.com/2011/05/19/don-box-the-bathtub-lecture http://blog.mattmags.com/2011/05/19/don-box-the-bathtub-lect... ? If above dress code thing is true then Microsoft has came long way...
- girvo 13y agoI'm guessing that was a typo, but NOP as an instruction is kind of fitting in this situation, too.
