So auf den ersten Blick habe ich zuerst an Fantômas @ CeBIT gedacht.
Verkauft Microsoft jetzt Waschmaschinen???
@ Karsten: zum Glück nicht.
Notice distinct lack of chairs and windows
He looks all nice and serious in a suit...
Did he do the 'Developers, developers Developers' dance ?

is that a Lotus Foundations server attached to the wall on his right :)
Accidentally (not at all) I was also there. And compared with other CEOs on the stage he was not that bad - not talking too much, not only marketing bubbles, and with quite good reactions in the Q&A session to some stupid questions of some journalists he was waiting for and had the answers prepared in his pocked. For example: Journalist: "Could you tell us more about the Microsoft-Yahoo stuff? And giving some more details?" Balmer: "The answer is NO! What comes comes - we are now during the negotiations ..."
Compared for example with the guys from Fujitsu Siemens Computers who just one hour before showed up as if THEY had invented "Green IT" 20 years ago when nobody even was dreaming of that.
I hope he has a new T-Shirt on...
Der andere Steve (Jobs) gefällt mir mit Rolli + Jeans irgendwie besser...
Ich hab den Typ schonmal irgendwo gesehen..... War der nicht immer in diesen netten Apple-Filmchen zu sehen? "I´m a PC"?
