Why does Steve Ballmer think...

[steveneddy]

...that Microsoft is so superior to Apple, Linux and any other product that he can't buy that competes directly with any Microsoft product?

In my opinion Steve Ballmer is a overzealous freak that panics when he feels that Microsoft is slowly slipping away.

I would really like to see Microsoft have a smaller market share. Maybe it would finally force them to make a more secure product that is not vulnerable to malicious hackers trying to get into a bank account or steal credit card numbers.

Because he is CEO and a bussiness man, in other words, a PHB.

PHB?

Find me a Ford CEO that promotes Chevy? I mean, his livelyhood is dependant on Microsoft. Of course he's gonna beat down everybody else.

His livelyhood? Look at how much money he has at the moment. It isn't livelyhood

But the CEO of Ford doesn't go around saying "I'm going to F***ing crush Chevrolet!"

or

"I F***ing hate General Motors"

I mean, each time he speaks in public, he just acts and sounds like a monkey.

Other CEO's tout the strengths of their own product without trashing the competition.

I am in business and others that I compete with make it a habit not to trash one another, we just quote our strengths, what we can offer, without talking down about the other business owner.

Who cares he's crazy

Several investors I've met agree that he should be kicked out.

Steve Ballmer scares me. He just does.

[cardinals_fan]

This is silly. He's the CEO - he won't go around praising his competitors.
