Yes Balmer is insane, but this is an intentional parody of a bad TV sales pitch… In fact, I think it’s a piece of “internal messaging.” Companies do this shit all the time to amp up their sales teams- I’ve worked on a few similar ads… they’re all very derivative and campy, but the executives fucking love it because they get to be perceived as being “funny.” Anything to get people on the team.

I guess you didn’t get those in Old Blighty?

To quote Ballmer himself in the clip: DOOOOOON’T AAAAAAANSWER!
That and the collar popping were hilarious. The rest? The typical panic inducing Ballmer with which I am familiar.

I watched this video too many times back in the day when I was trying to benchmark some media player software. Only much too late did I realize that the source material had stuttering built-in.

Microsoft was fun at one time. What happened to that culture?
