If you’re not familiar with how trade show keynotes work, the headline speaker takes the stage, talks about their company’s direction, and then introduces a slew of presenters and product managers to show off their latest and greatest.

At this year’s Steve Ballmer keynote, not much exciting was announced beyond a demo of Windows 7, announcement of Halo Wars and Halo 3 ODST, and of course the entrance of gameshows like 1 vs. 100 into Xbox Primetime.  How did the company fill the void in the keynote?  Entertaining band Tripod took the stage during, and after the show, and had the audience cracking up…that’s how. 

The Melbourne-based band features three geeky vocalists who sang songs about Microsoft products and how addicted to them they are.  Topics included Windows, Xbox, and several other things.  For more information band, check out their website, or Wikipedia.
