People who work for for-profit companies, especially large ones, are always a bit uninteresting to interview, with media training and marketing instructions taking out all the sharp edges. CNet interviewed Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, and they got some very interesting quotes from the love-him-or-hate-him CEO.

"I really don't see Microsoft changing much until Ballmer has been sent off to tend his garden. He can afford a rather large one. The company still seems transfixed by Google and is obsessed with dominating every market it enters. The days of domination are long, long gone and as for the Google thang, what this really suggests is that Microsoft has yet to find a skin in which it can feel comfortable. As a company it still doesn't seem to know who or what it is now the glory days of the 1990s are fading."
ok .... think about it, .. If you were running a company would you not want to dominate your market?
I swear, you socialist morons need to read some Ayn Rand.
and this from somebody who does not like microsoft.. but I am a capitalist and understand the principals behind free markets.
