The juvenile comments of big CEOs like Larry Ellison and Scott McNealy are legend. That being said, one gets a distinctly different impression from Ballmer. Whereas the boastful macho posturing from Ellison was flamboyant and entertaining, and McNealy the most colorful and quotable alpha-underdog competitor to MS, Ballmer seems shrill and truly filled with nothing but confusion, fear and anger.

Yeah... My predictions that since Bill emptied out all of Microsoft's retain earnings and then resigning as CEO might be a tell tale sign that Microsoft might be changing, and possibly changing for the worst.
