Adding to the increased attention: it was Microsoft night at the ballpark, with thousands of fans in attendance with ties to the Redmond-based software giant.

Honestly, my gut tells me this was a stunt.

Edit: Yeah, this is BS; You can hear typing in the video. What, they have a hot mic in the booth? And the article straight up calls it a gimmick. Definitely a stunt.

Hell, the fact that XP is handling an ultra wide display is enough to call bullshit xD

Literally nobody is pretending it wasn't a stunt. They discuss it in the article. It's been used several times.
