Anyone who has demoed a technology product or service onstage knows the terror of that moment. You know the one. That time just before you launch into your well rehearsed demonstration where you hope the technology doesn't let you down.

Spare a thought then for Michael Leworthy from Microsoft's Azure Migration Team. While showing off Azure's Site Recovery tech, Everly proved what many people already know - Edge's primary purpose is downloading Chrome.

At the 36:40 mark of this video, Leworthy starts his demo of some of Azure's migration features and hits a snag. Rather than flail about and try and make everything work with Edge, Leworthy does what almost every other tech guy would do and moves to Plan B - try another browser. But adding to the fun - he has a laugh along with the audience - and proceeds to install Chrome so he can continue the demonstration.

"I love it when demos break," quipped Leworthy before hitting up Bing to search for and install Chrome.

Jump to the 36:40 mark to see the fun unfold. Of course, he doesn't check the "Help make Google better" box after searching for Chrome using Bing.


Leworthy said part of the problem is that Edge, on the demo machines, "is locked down a little" so not everything works as expected. However, how a machine that has Edge locked down lets you install another browser is interesting. And the walkthrough of how Microsoft employees authenticate into systems shows how he uses Authenticator.

While we can all have a good laugh about this there are a couple of lessons to learn:

  1. Always test your demo using the equipment you'll be using on stage
  2. If something goes wrong, have a Plan B ready - even a plan with a laugh is better than blind panic

MS Edge kept crashing at MS demo, and they installed Google Chrome to continue!

Microsoft employee installs Chrome mid-presentation because Edge keeps crashing


by Mix — in Microsoft

This is truly half-brutal, half-hilarious. A Microsoft employee was forced to pause his Azure presentation in the middle of a live demo session in order to install Google’s Chrome… because the company’s own Edge browser kept crashing.

But here is the best part: this comical occurrence was recorded and uploaded to YouTube – by none other than Microsoft itself.

The presentation in question aims to show potential customers how to migrate their applications and data to Redmond’s cloud service. But midway through the session, Edge crashes.

This is when after a brief moment of hesitation, the employee finally gives up and charmingly informs the audience that he’ll be taking a moment to install Chrome in order to finish the demo session, which he then goes on to do.

See what happens in the video below (around the 37:10 mark):

In all fairness, the employee handles the situation quite admirably – and the audience nothing but confirms this with numerous giggles in the back.

At some point, the presenter even jokes his blunder “is not going to help make Google better,” when prompted to share browser data and usage stats with the rival.

All in all, the whole affair continues for about three to four minutes until the employee eventually loads Chrome and resumes the presentation.

Hats off for acting so cool under pressure, whoever you are.

微軟做 Demo 遇 Edge 頻死,即場裝 Chrome 解困!

很多世界級龍頭科技公司在做產品介紹演說時都會到不同程度的尷尬事件,強如 Apple 已故 CEO Steve Jobs 也不會例外,當年介紹 iPhone 時遇上 Wifi 問題令他發了一下脾氣。不過,如果要即場用對手的產品來解困的話,似乎就尷尬到極點了,這事近日正發生在「老是出問題」的微軟身上。

" data-reactid="12">


工程師在公眾面前示範 Azure 最新雲端服務時,因為 Windows 10 最新加入的 Edge 瀏覽器頻頻死機,令到他陷入了困境而被逼選擇即場下載對手 Google 的 Chrome 瀏覽器來完成演講,這個情節可真是尷尬到無法形容。" data-reactid="22">微軟以往在產品介紹會上,出現產品「不聽話」的情況機率十分之高,大家幾乎已經可以用「見慣不怪」的心態來包容。不過近日一名工程師在公眾面前示範 Azure 最新雲端服務時,因為 Windows 10 最新加入的 Edge 瀏覽器頻頻死機,令到他陷入了困境而被逼選擇即場下載對手 Google 的 Chrome 瀏覽器來完成演講,這個情節可真是尷尬到無法形容。

Edge 瀏覽器示範 Azure 的操作,但竟然沒有查詢反應,他只好苦笑一下並表示要換一換瀏覽器,然後就立即搜尋 Chrome 來下載。在安裝 Chrome 期間還幽了自己一默,當被提問是否同意 Google 收集用戶資訊改善 Chrome 瀏覽器時,他說「不可以,我不想讓 Chrome 變得更好」,即場引來公眾笑聲。" data-reactid="25">這次的產品示範全場錄影,所以連這個超尷尬的一分鐘也被完整記錄下來。由以上影片(大約37分開始)可見,演講者當時正想使用 Edge 瀏覽器示範 Azure 的操作,但竟然沒有查詢反應,他只好苦笑一下並表示要換一換瀏覽器,然後就立即搜尋 Chrome 來下載。在安裝 Chrome 期間還幽了自己一默,當被提問是否同意 Google 收集用戶資訊改善 Chrome 瀏覽器時,他說「不可以,我不想讓 Chrome 變得更好」,即場引來公眾笑聲。
