Windows 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.

There are three words I never thought I would see together in a sentence: Bill Gates + Charisma.

Charisma is a neutral concept. Bill Gates in my humble opinion has the charisma of a carrot.

Ballmer on the other hand exudes charisma. Note that charisma does not imply "likeable" or "agreeable."
