Heh, we may just get another classic Ballmer video here...
But I agree... One can't expect this guy to suddenly turn... completely sane.
Let's hope he brings high quality, preferrably black, shirts and don't forget the deodorant.
Yeah. Outside the beltway is definitely "DC"...
Honestly, I can see why MS is happy about launching there little one into the public but I think they should have invested this energy* into making the OS a little more lean in terms of getting performance out of single core machines etc... Too late now, I realize that but it doesn't stop me from opening my mouth and saying it.
*and with energy I was referring to time and money.
I guess in the end you just described all advertising.
...and to help celebrate the launch of GoogleOS, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will kick a series of
internschairs.He mentioned how he would be coming back to New York in two weeks, this time for the retail launch. Should be interesting...
