#2lol. Morale of the story: do some research first!
Re: Windows Azure Dance Routine
#3I'm actually bothered by the obvious ripoff of GLaDOS. I guess I just really like that character and the intelligent creativity that went behind it. This is like going Weird Al on Valve without realizing it.

#6This reminds me of...Japanese karaoke. I feel sorry for Microsoft that this is going to be syndicated everywhere to the detriment of Azure, but it's probably funny in Norway. Is anyone on HN offended by this?

I don't think it's styled after GLaDOS, there's a few genres of music that include a high pitched voice like that. I would suggest that this song is actually just a happy hardcore song with new lyrics, listen to the band Scooter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scooter_(band)) and you'll see the similarities in the majority of their songs. The songs normally feature an announcement (with the "distant" sound) and then a high pitched voice.

#10So, this is the second story in about a month about crazy sexist stuff going on at industry events in Scandinavia. The Dell thing I thought was beyond the pale; but this seems to be in good fun.
What's up with Scandinavia?
