Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite: The video

By

They are calling the short video clip “Bill Gates Goes to College” and those who saw it live at the Professional Developer Conference said it was great. I mean how could a Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite spoof not be! Lucky for you we found a rip of the movie over at ifilms that can be watched by visiting this link for the 5 min 42 sec short film. The camera’s a little shaky, but you get the idea.

Seeking to capitalize on the popularity of the 2004 cult movie “Napoleon Dynamite”, Microsoft Corp. Tuesday screened a video spoof for software developers in which the film’s celebrated anti-hero reports to work as a programmer for the world’s largest software maker. In a face-off between the two nerd icons, Jon Heder, the actor who plays Napoleon Dynamite, beats Gates in a slapping match to become the head of the software giant. Gates is shown recruiting Heder’s fictional character, after which they are seen together in ill-fitting brown suits on Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, Washington. In the last scene of the video spoof, Gates is seen scurrying into the office of his boss, Napoleon Dynamite.
