Heres' story link Its blog that is referred to is from Microsoft Employee, yet Knowing "Embalmer" from webtv leadership fiasco,its little like asking ADOLF HITLER to quit & for same reasons. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/85527/ [...] to-go.html Everyone knows of "phishing" & criminal intent, yet most don't realize that as odd thing as permanent slavery is merely cost of transportation, so better quality kidnapped victim means more value for ticket(FINAL SOLUTION PHISHING). Don't underestimate peoples desire to look other way while criminals ply trade of deciet & mayhem. Ballmer is leader in that field(Microsoft knows in detail who you are & Ballmer is willing to go all way with that info).Taking Public Trust to Felony level is BAD enough. I SUGGEST CUTTING BALLMERS FEET OFF OR THROWING BALLMER OUT 5TH STORY WINDOW.Embalming Anyone? SignedHYSICIAN THOMAS STEWART VON DRASHEK M.D.

what? Can you clean the post up a bit?

It's a bit harsh to 'cut off his feet and throw him out of a window' - especially seeing as he has given us so many laughs (monkey boy, anyone?)

Has Microsoft become so large as to be able to act like a small country, with the peasents mounting a coup of their leaders?

I don't personally think getting Steve Ballmer to leave MS is a good idea; one of the only things they have over Apple is that they have TWO 'household-name' directors compared to Apple's ONE.

Or perhaps it's all a load of bull.

WEBTV was my first internet service starting in June,1998. What I found in Ballmers operation was too tragic to fully describe here, except that AOL quit set top box market entirely, Balmer got Fired & sent to Corporate HQ, WEBTV disolved & picked=up by MSNTV.Ballmers responible for so much criminal activity in that era, something newspapers screamed about in general on day by day basis,that man should be locked in Federal Penitentuary.
Not only was I threatened in my investigation of USENET, try google to see bizzare posts needed to get across to posters involved, two people died as direct result of USENET threats. Poster(s) in question, SATAN, who actually is nationwide metropolitian monicure that USENET storefront lawschools of post with, posted repeatedly, they will kill Captain Stanley Carl Von Drashek M.D. Fort Mcdowell, to prove supremecy over law. As poster name states, they are not Christian. Over & pver troubles with phone lines going dead or Power suddenly switched off was common, including hundreds of visits to front door.
Also John N. Samuelson, not even computer user nor in any way involved with internet was threatened, John N. Samuelson od NE Minneapolis died within one year, 2002.
I emailed Balmer & got replies wich where not storeable & momentary, expressing glee over inflicting harm thru others.Balmer states that "legal" useage, Hon. Senator Clinton Esq. called it unbelievable that posters could give such intricate deadly instructions to children and general public.
As cute as photo might look, Balmers THUG, nothing more. Has no concept of enjoyable user experience & thrieves upon operating system of probelmatic failures, was my conclusion.
Unfortuneately one of many SATAN posters, Johnathan Magabee also is no longer with us, so buffers take brunt of Balmers crime wave.
You can pay thousands for your next computer, if Balmer has way, it will last till warrentee expires, not much longer.You may well get PHISHED out of your home & money.Thats just not mind set needed in todays sophisticated world.
To stop War, Commisioned officers must be stopped, as people who are mere people are endless supply of victims to such methodology.By "cutting off feet", meaning is to stop persons criminal dance, we all know Balmer cann't fly, does Balmer?
In conclusion its hard to replicate pre service pack 2 days of windows crashing out O/S on weekly basis with NT Authority virus & many other sieze up attachments blasting innocent family users. Hoodlums where in definate control of internet at that time.Balmer is one of those hoodlums.Balmers WEBTV service was amoung most abusive of individual users.Balmers bad person who creates bad things for good people whose bright eyed hopes are stung by methodolgical criminal intent, encuraged & protected by Balmer.Its on going problem, just place where problems lie will be more in that part of software that Balmer controls creation of instead of complete publicly served portal interface.Microsoft bought WEBTV & installed Balmer as head, so its no accident, nor that brilliant on Ballmers part.

Wow, who's playing you in the film?

This all sounds terribly shady and im sure is very interesting if it were written coherently. I think you should leave your conspiricy/slanderous/libelous posts to other forums and leave this one to talking about hardware.

Unless Steve Ballmer is going to have hacksaws installed as a requirement for Vista to chop your arms off if you don't activate in time, I really think you should keep this stuff to yourself.

Maybe you could sell the novel to Dan Brown?

So far no comment even been made about posted article.If you want to pressure someone off forum, thats your problem. I'm concentrating on problems I know of.Unfortuneately you seem to desire attention ridiculing my post, try reading article & give your on topic ideas.SignedHYSICIAN THOMAS STEWART VON DRASHEK M.D. 8)

Okay dude, whatever. I'm just saying that if you're gonna make claims about Steve Ballmer wanting to phish me out of my house, maybe this isn't the most appropriate place to do it.

SIGNED DR MARK SLOAN, MD

I read the article... and your little diatribe seemed to have nothing to do with it.

Maybe that's because the article bore little, if any, resemblance to your post:
The article is about some Microsoft employees being disgruntled at what they perceive as poor management.
Your post was an accusation that senior management at Microsoft wish to "phish" their customers. 8O

I assume (please correct me if I'm wrong) that what you were trying to refer to is the widely-reported story that certain governments (in particular, the US and the UK) have approached Microsoft to see if they can be given a "backdoor" into vista because they are worried it will be too secure for intelligence-gathering.

Frankly, I think the governments are over-reacting. When has a Microsoft product ever been un-hackable?
If you have a problem with this, you should take it up with your local governmental representative.

My concern is that Microsoft will comply with the requests in order to avoid the governments throwing the book at them over their monopolistic practises. They're already paying $1m dollars a day in fines for failing to break up the company, and they're probably worried that if they get on the wrong side of "Dubbya"'s holy crusade for the US government to be able to snoop on it's own citizens ('lo, Patriot Act) then someone will really start playing rough with them.

:x Off topic, yet in Dakota Dr. Kaiser took life of my grandmother with some hooky cure where filled her bladder with CO2 gas & poped it, she died 6 weeks later. So as far as I'm conserned anyone in that group is FRAUD, nothing more. You can call your self important, yet you arn't among AMA. Next, on Microsoft Breakup, having been part of information gathering that used DOJ email to contribute facts, Hoped it would produce more of slow down, yet at end, after court order break up & no real change in direction, This writer suggested that Microsoft offer two years of "free" MSN service (dial Up) to all who where on line in 1998 thru 2002. Microsoft mailed out vouchers in Aug 2003. So there is progress, yet no punishment seems to get across to Microsoft, so termination of problems themselves seems in order. Probably European Union will find it similar, my suggestion to poster from U.K. is to dissolve Microsofts copyright protection from all Microsoft products in Eurpoe.

Is there any way that we can get this stuff off the forums please? I've only just started posting but i've been a reader for a long time and I've never seen anything quite like this before.

Just cuz it says 'general discussion' doesnt mean that you can

a) badmouth MS in a SERIOUS way without any evidence

or

b) try and link MS to the death of your grandmother

8) CHIEF Vole basher Neelie Kroes, the €uro antitrust commissioner, told Microsoft its future Vista OS can't be sold unless it obeys the rules laid down by the power bloc.
The Wall Street Journal interviewed Neelie Kroes who said the €U must design Vista so it doesn't breach antitrust rules. Or else.

The Journal also quotes Kroes as saying that she sent shy and retiring CEO Steve Ballmer a billet doux last week warning him not to put some security features into the Vista OS and not to allow the IE 7 browser to point only at its own search engine.

During this week the €U will hold in camera meetings to decide whether Microsoft has done enough to comply with previous rulings. If not, the Vole could squeak to the tune of another $100 million in addition to the $600 million fine already levied.

A Microsoft spokesman told the paper his company was not aware of the March 20 letter and was therefore unable to comment. Reuters was not immediately able to reach Microsoft officials.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Bans Google & iPods


Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Bans Google & iPods

In a recent Fortune interview with Steve Ballmer, the newer kinder Microsoft CEO is not only ready to take on the videogaming, search, music download and mobile markets - but he’s also laying down the law in his own house. Steve says that his kids are not allowed to use Google or have an iPod.

Although the Google ban is fairly rough, I now have a bit of respect for Steve as a father for his iPod ban - as he’s probably saving the hearing and the attention spans of his kids via the ban (no word if they can use Microsoft endorsed mobile mp3 players).

Call it brand loyalty, call him an over protective father - but in a world where there are way too many 11 year old girls walking around in pink shirts that say “Bitch”, Victoria’s Secrets jogging pants, iPods hanging out of their ears, Starbucks in one hand and their cell phone in the other - Steve’s statement is a bit refreshing.

From the interview:

Do you have an iPod?

No, I do not. Nor do my children. My children–in many dimensions they’re as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I’ve got my kids brainwashed: You don’t use Google, and you don’t use an iPod.

Given Mr. Ballmer’s history of being a strict businessman and knack for going off the handle at times with a chair throwing episode or two, I highly doubt his home is in need of a visit from Super Nanny.

However, if his kids are using MSN Search instead of Google for their homework assignments (when they really should be using a library anyway) and this is leading to a drop in their scores, Mr. Ballmer may want to rethink his father-knows-best approach. ]

When Ballmers Child was asked to comment on Article reply was: "Ballmer must Go".

When Ballmer was asked about GOOGLE, Ballmer replied:"KILL FUCKING GOOGLE".

Ballmer is power crazy, Faker who incorporates "widgets" as new operating system, Widgets are not with operating system in fact, ride above it & consume valuable system resources needlessly.Ballmer will never make anything correctly, will merely pick up pieces of plausible software service & convert it into mad mans distructive fantsy of revenge against anything that ends up with Ballmers work.Ballmer is psychopathic & socipathic.Ballmer is one trick pony: "ATTACK & DYSTROY".Vista may form core O/S that other programmers incorporate widget derived O/S into, yet that true advancement will be someone elses design & not Ballmers intent.

Until Ballmers out & team of quality programers take Vista, expect worse.

Thomas, a few points:

1. It is poor form to copy out an article written by someone else without crediting the source.

2. When quoting an article, you should clearly separate the quote from your own comments. I had to re-read your post to realise which parts were from the original article and which parts were your rant.

3. "Ballmer is psychopathic and sociopathic" is a serious allegation to make without any evidence to support it. 8O Posting on an internet forum is not immune from defamation laws, so be careful what you say.

4. "Attack and dystroy" are two tricks, not one.

5. The word is spelt "destroy" anyway.

6. Your posts seem to consist mostly of copying a journalist's work, and then adding your own unsubstantiated rant. Whilst amusing to read, I seriously doubt that anyone reading them has had their opininon of Microsoft changed one iota, so I'm not sure what it is that you hope to achieve?

SHY AND retiring Microsoft number two Steve Ballmer has confessed to brainwashing his children.
In an interview with Fortune magazine, Ballmer was asked if he owned an iPod. He whispered that he did not and neither did his kids.

"My children, in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed," he admitted.

It seems he has a bit of a mantra with them "You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod."

MI6 would confirm that if this is said loud enough, and often enough, the subconscious will start believing it. Apparently it is not against the terms of the Geneva Convention, although when it was written no one had heard of Steve Ballmer.

Of course, as any parent will tell you, all this sort of thing will just lead to teenage rebellion when the children get older.

While some kids will sneaking off to parties to smoke dope, and drinking, the Ballmer kids will probably be creeping off to the local internet café to do a forbidden Google search or download a naughty iTune

MAFIA TERMS: SHY & RETIRING MEANS LEAVE "HIT" WORK TO OTHERS(E.G.the godfather movie). While KILL FUCKING...means people (those animals) whom own GOOGLE. Theres nothing NORMAL about 300 lb. person throwing 100 Lb. furniture on 8 year old children. Besides believing all children are poorly behaved, disrespect for those most protected by law is one of many mental problems, including that "whisper" in ear stunt, "I'm going to KILL you", which is such polite MAFIA LANGUAGE for "I cann't stand sight of you, its' just no one else here agrees" is common at conferences for all. Ballmers just isn't that subtle at all. Its' too bad Ballmers' reputation is that of "LOSER".Too bad VISTA Build 5342 is being reviewed as LOSER,too.Too bad for all of US.

Your rants are getting worse!

1. Once again, you've posted someone else's work without crediting the source., and tacked your own comments at the end. The first time I could put it down to inexperience, but to continue doing it proves that you are just dishonest.

2. The Geneva Convention applies to war. Steve Ballmer is not at war with his kids.

3. The last paragraph of your post is one of the most incomprehensible pieces of English I've ever read. What on earth are you trying to say? Have you never heard of proof-reading?

4. How on Earth is Ballmer telling his kids not to use Google ANYTHING like giving someone a death threat? What has the mafia got to do with it? Are you on drugs?

Seriously, you seem to have a lot of issues with Mr Ballmer, and I don't think you're going to resolve them by posting foul-mouthed, slanderous posts in this forum. I think you need to seek professional help.

Heres upcoming article in April. 2006 link, its not as offense: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/for [...] ex.htmive. Remember that "Widgets" are an engine that works within operating system, not operating system in itself. Theres good chance VISTA is being slowed down simply by intent. Public will start buying OEM VISTA for Christmas & machines will start seizing, crashing or simply running slower than present day software. How astute person would lose 5 billion $ & "leave mess to Us". Microsoft Employees don't want Ballmer, I don't want Ballmer & in time you won't want Ballmer ethier. Laughable CEO, whose head is in "Hard Knock" finance & using it to exploit public with bad software. "Earned money old fashioned way,Killed for it".Killing publics internet/computing experience thru promises that are UNTRUE' that arn't far from how MAFIA Henchmen sell DOPE, like candy to Children, with false promise, ignoring reality & blaming Victims for not knowing better.Pure Criminal Exploitation.
