"I'll give Apple credit for what it's done," Ballmer said. It's not like they've really grown a lot of market share (through the commercials).
Apple's computer sales are growing five times greater than the industry average...

Ballmer claims Apple is a little tiny niche company and the Get-a-Mac ads cute... PING!

As underwhelmed as I've been by the narrow gulf between Windows 95
and Windows XP Professional...
I will likely delay an upgrade to Windows Vista as long as possible.
And maybe even skip a generation.

Seeing you on an Apple thread is about as pleasant as seeing a pile of dog poo in the middle of the street.

Microsoft CEO: Vista sales expectations too high Not, one word about Apple or Mac...
To: Echo Talon
Ouch careful, I am sure somewhere there is a M$ conspiracy there.
According to the latest Apple commercial I will soon be asked if its ok to post this, not by Freerepublic but by Vista.

Ballmer also responded to a question about a series of commercials Why these "media outlets" continue to give Apple "free" advertising should be investigated... IMHO...

To: Swordmaker
Did Ballmer throw a chair at the interviewer when they asked him that question?
