Napoleon Dynamite vs. Bill Gates

(Filed under: Inspired)

On Tuesday software giant Microsoft screened a spoof video of Napoleon Dynamite featuring Bill Gates and actor Jon Heder as Napoleon. The video shows Napoleon and Bill Gates working together (clad in similar brown suits), having a slapping match over tater tots and dancing. Yes, Bill Gates dancing.

Apparently Microsoft often shows self-deprecating video spoofs like this one, and as in the past, the videos are rarely released for whatever reason. Though with the popularity of Napoleon Dynamite I wouldn't be surprised if this one makes it out somehow.

Update: And sure enough, versions of the video are out there. Not the greatest quality, but it's something: Longhorn Blogs has it up on iFilm and Paul Thurrott has a few clips (links via Scobleizer).
