Who's the bigger geek: Bill Gates or Napoleon Dynamite?

What would a big Microsoft event be without a video spoof, and Bill making fun of himself a bit. This time cult movie geek "Napoleon Dynamite," gets into a hand slapping contest with Gates and beats him, earning the right to run Microsoft. Fun photos from the video (which Microsoft usually doesn’t release for whatever legal or other reasons) with Gates and Jon Heder, the actor who played Napoleon Dynamite, here and here.
