Hilarious. Posted today on You Tube. I can hear Steve Ballmer saying that stuff.

Proof? Watch Steve Bing in person.

1. Silly skit. Any connection to reality is unlikely.

3. It's being reported as a half serious story on IT sites.

10. This is silly, a bit funny, and a very creative little skit....
Oh yeah I forgot to say, "ooooo Microsoft is the evil empire. I bet this really is true because MS is the devil, and we all know how bad they really are. Apple RULES (despite it's lack of market share) because only MAC users are truly cool....uh...I mean good."

Booga booga

I don't want some machine making my choices when I go look for information and deciding what I can see or not. Sheesh..soon they will do all our thinking for us.

13. It's not just Ballmer
I've working in Corp America (Big 20) for 20 years).

Ballmer is pretty typical. If you don't enthusiastically parrot back the buzz words du jour, you are dead meat.

In short, he's different only in the degree of obnoxiousness with the marketing speak, not in content.
