I've actually met one of his high school friends once. He made a really interesting comment about Ballmer: He was the only guy who was on both the football team and the math club. In fact at Harvard, he was the manager of the football team and got a degree in applied mathematics. He was a nerd who was also really athletic or vice versa. Oh and he's a first generation college graduate. Maybe he wasn't the best CEO for Microsoft but he's still a really impressive guy on a personal level.
