Anecdote: A senior person at Microsoft that I knew after he left relayed his experience trying to use a Mac at HQ. Balmer threw it across the room during a meeting.

- Verdex 5y agoMy first thought is that this sounds like a terrible work environment. My second thought is, "Wait senior person at microsoft? That means he could probably afford multiple macs." What I'm imagining is that after Balmer throws my mac across the room I pull out my second mac. I would also be scouting for someone who can install an airbag into my mac. Like, can you imagine the look on Balmer's face when he throws your mac and an airbag explodes out of it? Then you can just say, "What? Laptop airbags come standard on macs." To reiterate, it does sound like a terrible situation to have to work in. But unbridled anger on the part of another is the perfect opportunity to create some incredibly comedic scenarios if you're willing to put in the elbow grease.
