Michael O’Connell did an interesting report on Steve Ballmer’s reaction to a question regarding Linux. O’Connell reports that Ballmer responded with the following; “Asked during the Q&A portion about open source, Ballmer, who was seated at the time, clenched his fists and sprung to his feet. ‘It’s either the iced tea, or I’m a bit of a caged animal on this,’ he said. At times pounding his fists or waving his arms, Ballmer criticized open source and faulted it for what it does not offer to partners, compared to Microsoft.”

(My Take)

Personally, I believe that the security holes within the Windows OS may simply be from Ballmer punching holes in it with his fists. After all, just look at the pattern. Every time any Open Source software has achieved some level of success, Windows magically ends up with a newly discovered hole that needs to be patched. Just good timing? I think not folks.
