Why Microsoft? Ballmer's reply to college student
- robgough 16y agoAs a .net developer, desperately trying to move away from the MS stack, I was hoping this was going to be someone asking Ballmer why people creating startups should choose the MS stack over the open source, or really any other, route. I would find that a much more interesting question. Though I'm not sure Ballmer would be qualified to answer it, and maybe he doesn't even care.
- JunkDNA 16y agoThis reinforces my belief that Ballmer is a key reason for MS's image problem. The appear reactive and rudderless. It's embarrassing to have to defend yourself like that. MS is like a big whale shark: formidable because of it's size, but lacking the speed and teeth to be a predator.
