Come on! He is supposed to be a CEO. How professional is it to run around a stage like a 8 year old filled with fizzy cola shouting "I LOVE THIS COMPANY", sweating and panting like a dog before he even does his speech (maybe he's going through his mid-life crisis). Do you have to do that to show passion? And Hirai get slated for Riiiiiiiiiigde racer lol. Talking about Hirai, he shows passion for Sony without running around like an idiot. He conducts himself in a professional manner which you would expect from a CEO.

Who would I choose. 8 year old trapped in a mans? no. That was an embaressment to MS and I bet he didn't do that again after getting a warning.

so much pompous bollocks.

The reason he "loves this company" is because he helped make "this company" from its very very early days. "this company" is him, he was the first business manager who went out and really sold and built Microsoft.

I too love my company, LOVE it... why?  because its mine, I made it, I built it... I know exactly where he is coming from...  you probably dont get that.

But if a lack of passion and fitted suits and slim ties floats your boat then great... I guess we disagree.

 

Pompous? OK?!?

Well it's not his company. Yes he's been there a long time but he was running around the stage like a idiot. Not even controlled passion. Just running and jumping. When he got to mic he couldn't talk because he was out of breathe with huge sweat patches. That was embarrassing to watch.

Ok show passion but come on. HE WAS RUNNING AROUND LIKE A CHILD. A GROWN MAN.

And yes I do own my own buisness. Might not be big. I'm a self employed electrician. You wouldn't catch me running and jumping around shouting "I JUST F-ING RE-WIRED THIS HOUSE, WOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE MY JOB"

Edit: But I want to make one thing clear though. I don't agree with forbes. Since 2000 when Ballmer took over, MS have got a lot stronger and profiting a lot more.
