That is the most on cocaine I’ve seen anyone be
I think he checked out and let the cocaine do the talking / moving.
When I was a MS employee for a couple years I saw Ballmer in person at a quarterly division meeting, and I have to admit his enthusiasm was very contagious. He was like a kid at a Pokemon convention. Never saw him sweat like this tho.
Made me thing of this banger
How have I never seen this before? This is awesome!
Damn Chris Farley would have done an ✨ideal✨ impersonation of this guy
Should have worn a black shirt
Or a wet black one, even
If I were some powerful corporate exec, I’d be paying someone whose job it was to make sure something like this never happened, or if it happened it was at least never recorded.
I mean, even before the viral “Developers developers developers developers” chant he was a nasty, sweaty mess.
I dunno I kinda miss this version of Microsoft. They were still shitty and evil, but at least they were trying to be memorable and they were genuinely trying to sell you a computer to do whatever you wanted to do with it.
In the years that followed we started getting buggier, slower software, DRM, forced cloud migration, and AI scanning of everything on our machines and in our messages.
Fuck you they were. They wanted to sell you a computer so that you’d install Office. They never wanted you to do whatever you wanted with it. They intentionally changed internal APIs to break third party software that they didn’t want people using. This is also the era where they were constantly spreading FUD about Linux, convincing people that merely using Linux meant you were legally liable for patent infringement, etc.

Developers!
Cocaine.
He’s like if the “van down by the river” character was in charge of microsoft
Still better than Nadella.
I’ll never not be surprised at how he wasn’t having a heart attack on stage.
Cocaine was a little stronger than you anticipated?
I thought Ballmer’s peak was just a funny graph. I understand it a lot better now.
isn’t this the one he snapped(broke) his ankle when he ran out on stage and was screaming from the pain?
I think so, man was in shock and was sweating like a pig at the butchery.
WHO SAID SIT DOWNN!?!! WOOooooOoooo!!
