Great article! I loved how Ballmer was challenged by the “negotiating strategy” the Mayor used. This article should be required reading for anyone who lives in fear of the M$ hegemony (and all Apple nuts too, just because).

Indeed. Ballmer seems to still think that if he just forces himself into a company's boardroom and keeps strongly insisting that using his company's product that of course all will be well.

Those high-pressure sales tactics never worked whenever I was forced to deal with them. Good on them for not bowing to his bluster.
