    So, in other words, Ballmer would have been a loser if he had chosen Romney. Right? Not sure I would be telling that story.

      There is a thing. It is called a "joke". Sometimes people include them in their speeches.

    Translation

    "Romney made a campaign stop on Thursday in Redmond to speak to Microsoft’s Political Action Committee about his plans for the government, should he make it to the White House."

    Romney made a campaign stop on Thursday in Redmond to speak to Microsoft’s Political Action Committee about a campaign donation and what one would buy for them should he make it to the White House.

    Mittens wanted Ballmer? Yet more evidence that Mittens would be a horrible president.

    Ray Ozzie would have made things better at Microsoft? They must be in a bad way. Have you ever actually used Lotus Notes. Imagine a boot stamping on a human face - but missing about 50% of the time and falling over instead.

      Actually...

      Yes, as a matter of fact I *HAVE* used Lotus Notes, use it every day at work.

      Current versions are no worse then Outlook.

      Mines the one with the pamphlet "Better living through lower standards" in it.

      I'm still stuck using Notes 6.x. Though on the up side it's a damn sight better than Notes 4.x! Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be migrated to Notes 8.x.

      Having used Notes for 12 years now, I guess I've got used to its rather interesting approach to things. I haven't used Outlook for a while (Thunderbird at home), but I'm not entirely sure that anything else would be spectacularly better.
