Steve Ballmer: Mr. Personality

by alec on January 26, 2005

Randy has pointed to a copy of one of the Ballmer spoof videos on Windows is circulating on the net at the moment.  Boy do these bring back memories!  Ballmer and Gates made a whole series of these for company meetings, including one where Ballmer was a secret agent receiving a package in one of Microsoft’s underground parking garages, and another where he was seen yelling "Windows, Windows, Windows" over and over again.  The captains of industry ought to have personalities, and this guy has one in spades.

Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
