What happened
Microsoft has detailed the setup and rehearsal for the Windows 2000 launch event, which took place in the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. The stage was equipped with a 10-meter tall mock laptop, screens for projecting slides and videos, and various demo areas. During the rehearsal, a voice announced the arrival of Patrick Stewart, who was to present the event. The rehearsal involved a video montage and a mock sign-in to Windows 2000. The real Patrick Stewart later appeared at the actual event, delivering a commanding presence despite reading from a teleprompter.
