Gotta love the title of this article :D

Ballmer: Windows is as secure as Linux. I'm serious...stop laughing. (http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/columnists/gmsv/7076035.htm)

And here is the classic developper balmer link for those who want to refresh their memory:

edit: added picture ;)

hmmm... this gives me an idea... Take a color backgroud, add a black silhouette of balmer doing his infamous monkey dance. Put an iPod in his hand. Add lighter shaded area under the armpits, You just got yourself the next iPod add. If I were better at video editing, I might just try to do it myself.

I would gladly send my original artwork (with layers) to anyone able to pull this stunt :)

op performing supercomputers typically cost from $100 million to $250 million and take several years to build. Apple's cost slightly more than $5 million and was assembled from off-the-shelf machines in just one month.

Sounds like a great ad to me. Thats very impressive!

I finally found a working copy of the Ballmer's Musical.

I've converted it to .mov and stored it on my idisk

That is great for some comic relief. Guess it's always worth trying a little humor. Those are all great contributions, enjoyed each and everyone. :p

"So I'm not saying 'Hey, boy, aren't we the cat's meow here.'"

You know why you're not saying that Steve? Because NOBODY says that. NOBODY.

If you're going to pick a metaphor, at least make it logical. For example:

"So I'm not saying 'Hey, boy, aren't we the Apple Computer here.'"

I guess Ballmer forgot the part where Windows is only as secure when the PC running windows is turned off.

And holy crap is he one ugly SOB. Think of all the children you could permanently mentally scar if you were made up as him for halloween.

Turned off?

Heh... I think the best way to make a PC running Windows secure is to delete Windows and replace it with Linux...

:D
