:heh:

Outgoing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has always been a speaker and performer like no other — his absolute enthusiasm for his company is electric in person, turning ordinary corporate events into raw displays of emotion that are often criticized but never forgotten.

That energy was on full display earlier this week, as Ballmer led his last Microsoft employee meeting as CEO — he's announced his plan to step down within 12 months, and the search for a new chief executive is currently underway. And while earlier reports hinted at the intensity of Ballmer's feelings during his speech, The Verge has obtained exclusive video of Ballmer's final moments on stage. It is powerful and touching footage — one of the most influential men in the history of technology saying goodbye to the company he helped create. It is also vintage, perfect Steve Ballmer: intense, emotional, and set to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. The tech industry will never again have anyone like him.

Hey, friend, leave that man alone. Many people wish to not only be paid as much as he but have as much overflowing passion he has for his profession. :wow:

Well I'm only saying, let that man cook. He loves his job, he's only having fun out there. :ld:

Besides, the Microsoft RT is amazing for my productivity and I'm eating absolutely well off Microsoft Live. :ld:

Im not saying Microsoft don't have any good products, I like Win7 for example, but ever since he got the reins they fell the fuuuuck off. Like pre 'retirement' Jay compared to post :scusthov:

Actually, I would say that Microsoft has been very creative, but most of the products did not take off...
