Steve Ballmer at Microsoft SVC

Today we had Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at the SVC, for an all hands meeting with Microsoft employees at SVC.  It was fun and at times funny too.

Listening to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are two totally different experiences.  With Gates’ presence people are generally amazed by his personality and the fact that they are actually listening to “Bill Gates”.  Being a Microsoft employee one gets to see him more often than anyone else but still everytime you see him, you get mesmerized from his persona.  Meetings with Bill Gates are more subtle and one worth listening to, you want to find the depth of every word that comes out of his mouth.  Where as meetings with Steve Ballmer are more energetic and full of enthusiasm.  Every time he speaks, there is certain drive in it, one that should come from the CEO of a company like Microsoft.
