Actually I think this is in response to Google's annoucement that "we just dished out $1m in rev share for YouTube videos" Maybe Microsoft are raising funds for the Yahoo takeover the hard (video-CPM) way? Bets on this making the YouTube Top 10.... (but seriously, people should do time for this) why was there people in fancy dress in the crowd at the end?
