Review: Ok, so Balmer talks funny? But based on what he said, it all made sense to me! He didn't seem to be avoiding any answers, which is nice.

Review: I had to read this twice to make sure Ballmer's quotes were really as unintelligent and gross as I first thought. And yes they were. Where does he think this stuff up?

Review: Either the journalist really butchered the quotations of Ballmer or Steve really is a lot less savvy than we think. Short your Microsoft stock boys and girls!

Review: I may say Google has better process but not invention. Google is copying stuff from open source and Linux. That's the truth.

Review: With increased competition from Zune, Sansa-Rhapsody, and other players, iPod's market share has no place to go but down. Besides, the iPod brand has become passe, and their latest releases are pretty uninspired.

Review: Like typical consumers, many here are looking at single items, over a five-ten year span. To say that Microsoft has lost investors $3 billion is disingenuous, when they make upwards of $15 billion every year. In other words, let them make their products. If you don't like them, you know how to vote.

Review: Ballmer's glib talk about failed products like XBox should make shareholders angry. After promising to break even on the original XBox, now he claims they planned to lose money over the life cycle of the product! XBox and XB360 have so far cost shareholders more than $3 billion, and now Microsoft faces a price war as Sony and Nintendo ship their next-gen consoles. As for Zune, all I can say is why? They have adopted a player product that has already failed in the marketplace, added some half-baked software, and will sell at a price that has zero advantage over the market leader, Apple. This is a strategy for success? The day Steve Ballmer retires will be a good day for Microsoft shareholders.

Review: Ballmer is the most unimpressive CEO I know. The guy can barely spit out a semi-coherent sentence. (Read the interview again.) As for his business competence, check out the scoreboard. Since Stevie took the helm almost seven years ago, Microsoft has lost more than half its value. Great job mis-managing one of the most dominant monopolies in the history of the planet! But looking ahead -- who can wait to dump their iPod for a Zune so they can squirt their friends? Woooooh!
