If they want to be 'responsible', they should pay restitution to every company they have ever harmed.

Actually they would have to change their entire buisness structure to the point they might as well shut down. What a farce :roll:

This stinks sooo bad of marketing hype.

Microsoft was founded on "dishonest methods". How do they expect to change now?

Can't wait until the day that Microsoft's dominance is broken!

I thought I had posted a comment here. But I do not see it. Well I am using Internet Explorer so that might be the case. Hmm confusing Coder here. I will say it again:

Yeah right! And look at the photo. Like Bill told Steve, you better smile this time Steve!!!

However, Ballmer acknowledged that Microsoft "has no perfect track record" in the areas of trustworthiness.

Wow this has got to be the first time someone from Microsoft says something that is true..

Current results of the poll as of 5:30 GMT -

Trustworthy - 19%
Wouldn't trust them to inflate a dingy - 81%

That's still 19% too many!!

Did he jump around like a maniac again when he told the audience this?  He is a great example of a nut case!

I always wondered why none of the mental institutes claimed they lost someone that fitted the discription of Ballmer.

To me it looks like someone took some image morphing software and painted the "smile" on.

-- Frantically looking for the web site that proves Fester Addams is Steve Ballemer.

I couldn't find the original articles on the register but I did find a similar page with the MonkeyBoy dance stuff... if nothing else at least he (S.B.) is funny to look at.

I'll be happy when MS is dead, till then I'll continue to count my chickens.

I'll trust Microsoft to be dishonest and immoral. I don't see how more trust than that would be possible.
