Balmer Vows to Kill Google

An anonymous reader writes "Probably due to the Microsoft suit against Google over human resources, some very heated exchanges have turned up in some court documents. Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer has apparently vowed to kill Internet search leader Google, according to documents filed in the increasingly bitter battle between the rivals." From the article: "At some point in the conversation, Mr. Ballmer said: 'Just tell me it's not Google,'' Lucovosky said in his statement. Lucovosky replied that he was joining Google. 'At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office,' Lucovosky recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. 'I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google.' Schmidt previously worked for Sun Microsystems and was the CEO of Novell."

    No troll, idiot /. moderator. Threating to kill a person or a group of people should be taken seriously.

    dude, what are you talking about.

    this isn't about children. he's the CEO of what the most powerful company on earth, give or take?. he can do whatever the fuck he wants. if he does something oh so terrible, tell the board and let them fire him. otherwise, you just sound like a snively little brat cause you can't handle people shouting or getting angry.

    I hate google, always have. They contribute nothing except a bunch of craptastic goooooogle ads and they're simply overrated. Despite Ballmer's mental instability, nothing would make my day more than to watch google's stock price fall into the penny stock range and listen to the faint screams of people jumping out their office windows upon realizing what a mistake it was to invest in google. Google has its place in the world, but it's sure as hell not at the top. Then again, neither is it Microsoft's place either. It sure is lonely up here, though.
