By the way, that presenter is a pretty good actor, but he was trying way too hard in a way that was distracting. The way he called out someone in the audience at one point made it seem like he has standup comedy experience and was trying to connect with the audience but it made no sense.
In contrast I've been very impressed with Panos, It's not Jobs level of being a natural but he's getting there. To me he comes off as authentic, passionate and knowledgable... though I agree the part of the presentation you mentioned felt a bit like pandering :) maybe he should dial it back just a tad
That's not an actor by the way. It's Panos Panay, who leads Microsoft's devices team.
Acting != make believe. The dude was hamming it up to the point that he seemed like a caricature of a product announcement.
The presentation was a ton of fluff.
