Online Extra: Steve Ballmer Shrugs Off The Critics:

Quite a long interview with Steve Balmer. Good stuff.

I found myself cringing at *most* of Balmer's responses. So much spin as to how Microsoft is great and avoiding answering the real questions. Where is the honesty? Is this just me?? Well over at Mini-Microsoft.. here is a good quote:

I felt, reading it, so much Ballmer sunshine was being blown up my skirt that I was going to go nuclear.

Microsoft has tons of innovation going on right now and the marketing is hitting me squarly in the gut... I spent hours yesterday on Channel 9 and some of the new technologies from PDC.
