I wouldn't be suprised if the guy was lying just to get views on youtube. Steve ballmer is much more intelligent than to fire someone for not saying "bing" right.

 

Google for Ballmer google ipod and for Ballmer ipod amnesty bin and you'll see that he can be even dumber than that. 


you can't be serious. The first one was a joke and the second one marketing for their zune. Everybody knew the zune was created to compete with the iPod. That was just PR.

 

Obviously, how can anybody remain serious when Ballmer's involved?    He's an outstanding dancer and comedian, but he's not versed in marketing...

Anyhow, the iPod Amnesty Bin was considered amusing, but not in the sense MS desired, and very pathetic as marketing effort (and Zune's appalling results, initial bugs and quirks and ugliness, despite the money and resources spent on it, didn't help)


that was basically PR gone bad. No big deal, really. And this has nothing to do with Ballmer.

nobody said Howard Stringer is a retard after this ad

But I really like Ballmer. Interviews are always fun.
