Dance Monkey Boy, Dance!!!!

Everytime I see an interview with Steve Ballmer I get to thinking of those wonderful videos of a jumping fat bald man screaming on stage. Such a turn-on.

Ballmer: If you look at Windows XP or any major Windows phenomenon, the first major step is to get all consumer PCs to come with that version of Windows

Name a PC that doesn't come with Windows Installed on it from the factory. I think Wal-mart carries a few, and here and there have linux installed. Other than that, only Macs appear to have something non-Windows installed on them.

Ballmer: The dynamic is that the end user gets excited about it because they use it at home.

Hence I am estatic about Macs and Linux. I just don't appear to have that enthusiasm about using the latest and greatest Windows OS anymore. The only reason I get it first at work is to find all the pitfalls before the users do. Still finding them for Windows XP.
