I had read an article that talked about a Ballmer interview and it would seem to me that he just doesn't get how everything fits together(I think someone on this thread placed a link to an article that commented on this interview-also an interesting read).
That was me, here's a link to the 3rd installment of the interview with Ballmer mentioned in my earlier post where he talks about Safari, Chrome and Mac market share:

He really seems out of touch. I do hope Microsoft keeps him around for years to come. :) This is my favorite Ballmer quote from that interview:
"Here’s Windows and Windows is a very successful product. How do you attack Windows? Well, you attack with the high end, and hardware. That’s an attack. That’s – I won’t call it the Snow Leopard attack. I’ll call it the Mac attack of which Snow Leopard is a piece. You could attack from the side. That’s the Chrome – Firefox attack. You can attack from cheap, from below. You’re not from the side. You’re one on one, but that’s kind of a Linux, Android, presumably Chrome OS, who knows, attack vector. You can attack through phones that grow up. You know, mama don’t let your phones grow up to be PCs or something. I don’t know. But that’s another attack vector. So, you could say how do I feel about all these attack vectors? Strong, I feel very strong here." |
