Ballmer: Is why MSFT stays the same

From his own mouth:

Well, the question is, how do we get higher price points? We'll have some people in those "mission critical" applications choosing our enterprise editions.

Get companies to adopt the MSFT platform for mission critical applications as the way to command higher price points.

Nevermind building a better product, offering customers better value, improving security or actually earning that money. No, no, no. Get customers dependent on our technology, then stick it to them!

And they're surprised that Linux is the fastest growing segment of the computer market.
