Microsoft’s rather deflated reaction suggested they probably did not sign off on this. Frank Shaw, head of corporate communications for Microsoft, tweeted:

The official Windows Azure channel wrote this comment on the circulating You Tube videos:
This week’s Norwegian Developer’s Conference included a skit that involved inappropriate and offensive elements and vulgar language. We apologize to our customers and our partners and are actively looking into the matter.
Oh dear.
