What he really said ...
Ballmer said:

We do not, say, like Apple, believe in low volume, very high prices, very ? Apple is a great company. Does a fine job. But their model says high margin, high quality, high price. That?s kind of how they come to market. We say we want big market share but with big market share you take a lower price.

What WE believe in is a little (not much ) cheaper price and very low quality coupled with high volumes.
