I can't think of a time when I could take Steve seriously as the CEO of Microsoft. He would rattle some rant about how .net was a platform and Java was a language. He would also rattle on about how Open Source was a cancer and more recently about how the opensource crowd was violating copyrights and that he had proof. No Proof came.
Who can forget his tirades of jumping around on the stage to Gloria Estefan or chanting "Developers" over and over again?
Oh Steve, how when you retire, I might actually miss thee. That crazy goof ball that would attack open source while the rest of his company would be talking about embracing it. I personally think he has the leadership skills of a lemming headed over the cliff while the rest of the bunch actually stand back to watch and laugh as he plunges into the sea.
You go Steve. Be the best Microsoft CEO that you can be. We know you drink you own Kool-aid and that your own Reality Distortion field is ten times denser than that of Steve Jobs. Fortunately I don't know of anyone else who can swim in that muck.
That was then …
This is now? Ok, maybe it was 6 years ago?
Alright, I’ll try to stop laughing now while I finish this post. I saw the first video a few months ago and the second video I got from Fake Steve Ballmer. I think the first video was true and it was obviously from the late 80s. The second video could be a gag Microsoft posted for laughs or someone did a really good edit job. I don’t know who the man pushing him out of the way is. I don’t know who the CEO talking about fewer helpdesk calls is but he sure sounded like Mike Cox (our favorite talkback CIO).
