Ballmer: "We'll Outsmart Open Source"

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-buildings-by-destroying-blueprints dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Micorosofts Steve Ballmer is spouting off again in this ZDNet UK article. To an audience of Most Valued Professionals in London, he says 'We'll outsmart open source.' Among other things, he also says 'Linux is a serious competitor.' We've known ever since the Halloween Documents that they have been running scared, but this looks like a prelude to a whole new round of dirty tricks. It also looks like damage control for the statements of Microsoft's Sr. VP Brian Valentines last week."

    Microsoft's MVPs were all writing FUD articles about why Windows is the wave of the future, and Linux is just no good, but their computers are all stuck on the blue screen of death. Oh well! They'll all have to reboot before we hear anything from Microsoft's defenders.

    Aw man, how can you be a moderator here and NOT have seen the Ballmer video where he can't even keep up with himself as he chants "Developers! Developers! developers!"

    That was funny.

    But MoneyT is a fucking idiot asshole troll.

    I wouldnt waste my mod points on him though, to let him speak loudly only makes him look more the fool. He is a complete jerk.
