Steve Ballmer
Let’s put things in perspective…




SHAREPOINT                    EVERYONE ELSE
You can’t stop the bullet
train, you can only hope to
connect with it.
I tell my competitors, ‘that if you see a
bandwagon, it’s too late.’
If an Airplane followed the same development
cycle as SharePoint, a Boeing 747 today would
get a million miles per gallon, cost $1000, and
travel 100,000 miles per hour.
There’s an enormous number of
SharePoint Admin who can relax
on the job
What he secretly says about them
Kept trying to tell Jive CEO Tony Zingale
it's best to wait until a product is out
of beta before you file for an IPO.
Word is IBM has built a thinking chip;
so they're now in the process of
replacing the Connections Software
development team.
Notice that the fear of computers becoming
I Intelligent and taking over the world has entirely
disappeared from the media? Seems to me, this
coincides with the release of Oracle’s Business
Intelligence Suite.
If you make something idiot proof
evolution will insure the rapid
emergence of a better idiot.
We once considered Jive as a product name, but
worried its meaning of deceptive, exaggerated or
meaningless talk might be a liability.
If IBM’s, Thomas Watson were alive today
h he’d instead say, ‘I think there’s a world
                      Connections
market for about 5 Computers
"I would love to change the
world, but harmon.ie won't give
me the source code"
