Babelfish's suggestion makes it sound like a well-known soap opera. ;) "De wereld draait" means "The world turns". "De wereld draait door" means "The world is going crazy". However, it could indeed also be interpeted as "The world keeps on turning". See, Dutch people are creative. ;) It's more of a late nite show than a variety show by the way. Take David Letterman, remove the band and the over-enthusiastic audience, add funny clips and imagine more different items per show. :) Quote:

This show was recorded right after the launch event. But it simply went about the various things Tjeerd designed for Windows Vista. He explained how they have tried many start buttons and how thay came up with this one (also called Pearl, i've read it somewhere before) Interesting stuff but for many of you nothing new ;-) But great to see this shows up on this blog :-) Yeah, he was in Holland for the Windows Vista launch.

He was talking about how they invented the start-button and how he wanted it to let the round get above the startbar. I will try to give a quick summary later on.
