To be clear, the profiling of Powerpoint in the middle of the presentation was a stunt, planned in advance. I just didn't tell anybody I was going to do that.

At that point I was an ex-Microsoft person giving a talk at a Microsoft conference using Microsoft tools to profile Microsoft's presentation software. It may have been a cheeky thing to do, but it was so much fun.

I'm not aware of any publicly available video but I did a writeup of the issue: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/powerpoint-poor...
