101 Dumbest Moments In Business
hhutkin writes "It's that time again. Business 2.0 posted their 101 Dumbest Moments in Business. Of course, they lambast Enron, but they also slam Ginger, a laptop computer made for the steering wheel of your car, Steve Ballmer dancing, and some other really dumb stuff from the past year."
Couple of people have mentioned it here, commenting how incredibly dumb someone must be to do something like that..
You should know that the dancing incident took place in the MS 25th anniversary company meeting, which was essentially a *party*. Now, as far as I know, people are *supposed* to do silly things when partying, that's the idea, isn't it? Or do you guys all sit around the table, dead serious, during the birthday of your company? C'mon, get a life.
Btw, most people at MS love steveb and his tricks, it adds lotsa color and fun to everyday life and raises people's morale. So I would say that it was actually a rather useful thing for the company, not dumb.
So, flame me if you want to, but you don't really get to lead a big software company by being dumb, u know?
Targo,
saw the monkey dance with his own eye.
