During the nail-gnawing half hour between the time we were admitted to the Big Top on the Microsoft campus and the Bill and Jay Show aired, there was an air of expectancy.

But like any air of anticipation, it wore off pretty soon. Microsoft was prepared for this, using those screens to flash up odd statistics about Windows 95...along with some video footage of the developers making "candid" comments. Here are the statistics, with a few excerpted comments...
("So you allowed conjugal visits?")
("My favorite vegetable would have to be celery, because that's what a lot of Windows 95 beta testers say that the Win 95 CDs smell like")
