Ballmer - Trusting Vista and Battling Google
Carnivore24 wrote to mention a C|Net article discussing Steve Ballmer's morning keynote at Gartner's Symposium/ITxpo. From the article: "'I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life,' Microsoft's CEO said ... Ballmer also touched on a variety of areas related to Microsoft's competition with Google. The software maker will compete 'the good old-fashioned way, with innovation,' he said. 'There are many things--who knows?--Google may or may not do. If you read the papers today, other than curing cancer, Google will do everything.'"
he meant Microsoft, then more power to Google!
Sorry, Steve. I have it on good authority that this is also in their roadmap.
Um, wern't the "old fashioned" ways using teams of hired mercs to wage priovate wars with? Or am I just reading too many M-rated books?
'I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life,'
First stage: Denial
What he means folks, is that he has thrown a chair dishonestly.
From the comment above I suspect he's been reading Slashot on a regular basis lately.
I work for Steve Ballmer, so I am reading these comments with great interest and no small amusement. He most certainly did not throw a chair. He threw his whole fucking credenza into the hallway and kung-FUDded it to splinters.
