Microsoft has ordered one of its fans to remove pictures he took during Bill Gates' keynote speech at Comdex last month and posted on his Web site.
Chris De Herrera complied and removed the offending images from his Tablet PC enthusiast site, TabletPCTalk.com.
Microsoft apparently didn't mind that De Herrera posted images of the PowerPoint deck outlining Gates' "seamless computing" vision or shots of the Tablet PC demo.
What got the hackles up in Redmond were pictures of the "Matrix" spoof video starring Gates and Chief Executive Steve Ballmer. Is the company worried that its video artistry will be swapped royalty free on the video-sharing descendants of Napster?
Get it here while it lasts.
