Seems like the Demi-gods are up to it again

If MS Steve Ballmer becomes any more of a visionary and continues to sweat like he does, we'll (unfortunately) be able to see through the surface of his shirts! Eeewwww.
 
The man is too laid back. I mean what can people do to draw him out of his shell :p
 
It's amazing how calm, cool, and collected such a phenomenal leader can be! Just look, he's hardly broken a sweat leading Microsoft into the tablet world!

Well maybe we are or maybe we're not. All I can say is that Steve Ballmer really is a visionary.

Some of the Demis are starting to look a bit like each other. I guess that happens when you hang around Microsoft forums too long! :D

It sure seems like there is something going on the surface here.... I did visit Microsoft offices in Southfield, MI a couple of years ago, though Ballmer wasn't there that day.

I also had my original iPhone with me about 8 months after it was first released and surprisingly enough, Microsoft still let me in the building with it!

How in the world do they do this development when subject to this rule? :confused:

It looks like the development team isn't restricted by that rule, as they aren't mentioned:
... a new purchasing policy for Microsoft's Sales, Marketing, Services, IT, & Operations Group (SMSG).

Microsoft still has a Mac development team known as the Macintosh Business Unit. This unit is responsible for the Mac Office products and was said at one time to be the largest 3rd party Mac software developer. This new Apple purchasing prohibition only seems limited to the SMSG group, according to the article.

I guess banning the use of your competitors products when developing for your own is a pretty dumb move...Just imagine MS employees being searched as they enter the workplace.."Found an iPad sir" " Take him to Ballmer"...:D
