Did you really have to bring up Ballmer? You're absolutely right, he's the anti-Jobs when it comes to public persona, and not in s good way. Eric Schmidt I'd say is almost a polar opposite to Jobs, but comes off well. Ballmer? Ugh.
- potatolicious 16y agoI've never known Eric Schmidt to get up in front of a crowd and try to hype up a new product. I may be wrong though. If you're going to hop on stage and build buzz for your product, you better be pretty good at it. Ballmer gets brownie points for trying (most CEOs don't, and leave their marketing underlings to deliver equally boring keynotes).
- digikata 16y agoSteve is passionate about product and bringing new value to the customer via great product. Ballmer is about competition. The end difference is ... well the difference between Apple and Microsoft.
- statictype 16y agoI don't know - Eric Schmidt has kind of been a PR disaster for Google.
