Neither Winward nor I watched the keynote. I watched the first 15 minutes and declared it a waste of time. However, the keynote was interrupted by an unnamed protester (X (formerly Twitter), TikTok), while not horribly loud at 1:43:59, this caused Microsoft to edit the audio track and remove the room noise during this portion, but you can still see the people in the background looking over.

Similarly, while I was downloading the Ignite session, the page was taken down for 15 minutes, but they did not remove the video manifest. No major changes appear to be evident.
