I’d do the same thing if it meant I’d be worth $100 billion.

Before Steve: “Linux is cancer”.
After Steve learned that Microsoft made billions from Linux: “Linux ain’t that bad!”

Sure, the man that burned billions trying to beat Google with failed online services (even trying, and failing, to buy Yahoo), the dude that laughed his ass off at the iPhone, let Android to grow with no opposition, the CEO that bet so hard on Vista… yeah, the “best” Microsoft boss.

It was easy to get excited back then because they were releasing a product. Now the customer is the product, so the dynamic isn’t there anymore.

To be fair he had to do something to compete with Steve Jobs

That must have been a lot of cocaine.

Unironically better promoter than Dana White

He was certainly better IMO than now, what with crappy support, AI everything, and less listening to the admin sector of the field than ever before.

I like to think he’s stone cold sober and is just passionate about new Microsoft features.

This had me laughing for days when I first saw it. His yelp of pain was hilarious, probably pulled something and then he stopped jumping lol. He has some all time legendary clips, goated.

He was also incredibly smooth-brained.
When Apple first unveiled its iPhone back in 2007, [he didn’t even bother](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/4B5C3xErTaI) having Microsoft invest into the smartphone business. When Microsoft finally decided to compete; both Apple and Samsung were both already well established in the smartphone industry by years; that Microsoft couldn’t even afford to compete and stay in the market.
Steve Balmer was also responsible for Xbox One falling far behind Sony’s PS4 when he pushed for numerous anti-consumerist policies. These policies included forcing players to be online when playing single-player games, having players being tied to their games and not allowed to lend to others, Kinect being always on, and forcing the Kinect to be bundled which resulted the Xbox One costing $500 compared to PS4 at $400.
Although Microsoft reversed these policies later on, they had a lasting negative impact that plagued Xbox One sales for years.
the introduction of notes in his presentation is “SHOUT”

When the ceo of a company can’t keep his composure during a presentation that’s a serious red flag to me. That’s why Steve Jobs and Tim Cook just play it cool. No need to scream and shout. They customers will come and they will stay.

I thought I hated Microsoft at Ballmer management times, but now I have to reconsider it and say the current Microsoft is really bad from user prospective.
Developer prospective maybe has improved but overall software remains a pain in the back, very expensive and cluttered.

His blood pressure is 4 digits as well.
Don’t even get him started on developers.
