Steve Ballmer. Again : Steve Ballmer's fortune is NOT from options that he has been receiving. Before Win3.1 was released by MS - he hocked everything he had to buy MSFT shares - he did this publicly - hence not insider trading. This was in the face of how Windows was terrible as compared to Mac. Believe me - I've made my entire little bundle on MSFT and am long on just one stock currently - that's MSFT - so I follow MSFT very very closely. What's More : MSFT does not give Stock Options or Shares or anything to Bill gates and Steve Ballmer - just like YHOO does not do so for jerry Yang & David Filo. Mr Middleton - please check facts before sounding off. Neither Bill Gates - Nor Steve Ballmer have EVER received a single share in compensation - either by ESO or any other way. You know very little about MS if you think that Ballmer is "just another employee". Please CHECK your facts. I'll learn to discount what you say in the future. thanks
