Steve Jobs is a bit more lively, and shows more excitement about what he is talking about. the constant repetition of every point he makes does bother me.

Steve Jobs uses NLP methods a lot. That's why he is a great public speaker, and memorable. (People like Tony Robins use the same method.)

A side effect is, that it stretches a small amount of products to last about an hour's lenght.

Also keep in mind that people use Steve Jobs' keynote instead of a user manual these days to learn how to use a product.

For this last presentation Aaron's format was great, and I'm glad somebody has even decided to tape it so we can see the footage "like we were there".

I think for a consumer level presentation, it would be great if Aaron would go over all the features of KDE 4.1 (when it comes out for Windows/Mac).
That would really help "sell" (increase public awareness, publicity, and show users how to use it.) the 4.1 branch and onwards. It works for Steve Jobs, just let Aaron develop his own speaking style for KDE. I'm looking forward to a similar hype about upcoming KDE releases. (don't forget to mark them on digg, stumbleupon, del.ici.ous, etc..)

I wonder if Google is willing to sponsor such an event.
