Napoleon Dynamite vs Bill Gates

Not really a movie as such but a little promotional piece for Microsoft and Mr Gates, but it's still interesting that he's managed to pull the actor who played Napoleon Dynamite in for a funny little short.

From Cinematical:

In a video made especially for the conference, Gates was seen showing Napoleon around the massive Microsoft campus in an effort to convince him to join the company. (Apparently the two were wearing matching hideous suits, which is a nice touch.) Ultimately, the encounter came down to a slapping contest, which ended with the victorious fro-wearing punk taking over Microsoft. In the video's closing scene, "Gates is seen scurrying into the office of his boss, Napoleon Dynamite."

This sounded like loads of fun, but I thought we'd never see it. Not so it seems, as someone has copied it and placed it on the web, originally from Robert McLaws, and now through iFilm, you can watch the Dynamite vs Gates short. I have to say the screenshots even look funny!

Usual story, I'm at work so you guys check it out and let us know what you think.

This was great. I'm a computer dork and truly appreciated what Microsoft did here at this years PDC 2005.
