From The Register: Microsoft's Ballmer tells lurvely partners to stick it to IBM
A pumped-up and sweating Ballmer informed Microsoft's Worldwide partner conference on Sunday morning that IBM is a spent competitive challenge that is pushing sub-par software, while he worked the crowd's concerns over IP and patents by talking of so-called "rumors" that Linux violates more than 200 patents.
Let's see... Gates recently admitted that they never matched Notes in many areas of collaboration, and Ballmer says IBM is pushing sub-par software...
What does that say by inference about Microsoft's offering? :-)
