I could not restrain myself from posting this. :-)

Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems, was delivering a keynote speech to a full room at CTIA Wireless 2004 when his Linux machine, running Sun's Java Desktop unexpectedly became completely frozen. He had to reset the machine and they quickly switched to a pre-recorded standby video presentation. In the words of our on-the-floor journalist covering the event for LXer, "it was embarrassing."  [LXer]
