  • What about "Ultrabooks", Ballmer? No DVD drives on ultrabooks, btw.

    -I'm not a fanboy

  • Comment removed

  • I don't get the hate Ballmer gets. If you listen to him he actually says smart stuff.

  • Aaackwaaard....

  • Vista is not the most popular operating system.

  • @iShowYouGamesAndTech it was the second most popular at the time of this video

  • Oh, a MacBook Air is heavier than his PC. We'd hate for it to be sturdy, wouldn't we? Is that really the worst he can come up with? Vista being "popular" means it isn't shit? Sorry, but no.

  • Ballmer is right the 1000$ macbook air is joke compared to any 400$ laptops which also run a RDP.

  • Steve Baller ist the absolute #1 of unlikeable people I know.

  • Steve Ballmer may be a weird fuck, but he sure can put up a fight. Props to both these guys for their guts

  • This guy is always talking sh%/t about other companies.

  • Comment removed

  • Steve Balmer is so odd :S

  • The back and forth banter and cheesy humor is so damn annoying. I can't bring myself to watch this entire video lol

  • Yeah, Guy laughed too much at Steve with his rude jabs. Wasn't necessary...

  • I don't like Guy K's silly laugh

  • interesting watching this in late 2011, given how things have worked out for microsoft since then.

  • @powerhousephg

    And how exactly have things worked out for MS since then? Looking at their financials, windows 7 success, Xbox success, Bing marketshare gains and their overall strategy for 2012 and beyond...I'd say things look pretty good.

  • Only i think, he looks like a retarded? Bur really, he speaks like...

  • You got to admit, Steve is bloody funny.

  • why does everyone complain about vista?, worked fine for me...

  • ★★★★★ Best of Steve Ballmer: /watch?v=7r6Yn3CEx9w ★★★★★

  • Ballmer is really good in front of a camera, he talks very good. And he is right, if dont move forward you get less important.

  • Wow, Ballmer actually handled this really well.

  • whats a dvd?

  • This is why I use a Macbook pro, People who use pc are like this guy, arrogant about not having the best product and claim because more people use windows than its better, which is false there just more people who can't afford a quality apple macbook pro/imac/air so they defend there crap.. Of course more people use window, thats because most people are to poor to have a apple product so to make themselves feel better they pretend that they like pc more even tho they wish they could have a apple

  • @KyleIsKoolerThanYou that was ignorant..i personally have a alienware laptop(windows) and my roommate has a macbook pro, and mine cost half as much as his did, and i personally actually like mine more, i like the UI more, and it's also faster then the macbook. And i'm not being arrogant here, i'm just being honest, apple products are way overpriced. why would i buy a $3000 apple laptop when i can buy $1500 windows laptop(dell) that is just as good?

  • @gaffitilove

    None of the MacBook Pro's costs 3,000 dollars. The most expensive one is only 500 more dollars than the highest priced Alienware laptop.

  • @nickdog670 The 17 inch one costs $2500 and when you add at least a few features and taxes to that it will easily go up to $3,000. And you know what's funny? My alienware might not look as nice as the macbook pro, but it has constantly outperformed my friends macbook pro, while his macbook pro cost $2,500 and my alienware started at $1,000. Apple products are way overpriced.

  • @gaffitilove

    I never said Alienware computers are ugly and I never said they don't perform well so don't go off ranting. Both are overpriced for what they are. The main reason people buy Macs is because OS X. I like both operating systems, they are both better for different things.

    Buying computers doesn't have to be some who has the bigger dick contest, buy what you like, and don't care what others say. And then don't harass others for how they spend their own hard-earned money!

  • @nickdog670 fail..the guy i was originally talking to was talking about how everyone that likes windows was as dumb as mr. ballmer in this video, so I was replying to him. And it's my personal opinion that they are uglier, Macs are simply average computers that have nice looking hardware and are very overpriced. I'm not harassing anyone. But I will say that you sir, are rather dumb.

  • @KyleIsKoolerThanYou What an ignorant thing to say. There are many people who prefer windows and consider it to be the better operating system, which by the way happens to have more software developed for it. I can admit Microsoft screwed up with Vista, and I never even bothered buying that piece of junk, but there is no way in hell I'm trading my windows 7 experience for any version of OSX. My friend a long time win. user did and he too greatly regrets it.

  • @KyleIsKoolerThanYou As for why some windows users are annoyed with the apple fanbase, its because they think they have the better product, but we don't feel they do. What they have is a terrible ad campaign in which apple has spewed absolute nonsense and given a false impression about the diff. between windows and MAC. check this video out, /watch?v=s29im5EQEiw

    if any OS can do this, how can it be considered to be inferior. I can get better specs on pc for half the price.

  • what a little douche bag....typical mac fanboy

  • I got a iMac but i like him :D

  • Steve Ballbag.

  • I was dissapointed with Vista like everybody else and gates said it was shit 4 years after aswell, but they did good with Win7, so everybody is happy now =)

  • 4:42 vista is a very secure system, its the most secure client operating system out there...

    WTF NOO!

  • I hope someone tortures Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, and makes them suffer until they're dead.

  • @siggi88088 u need to see a therapist!

  • who needs CDROM/DVDROM anymore, while Apple already has Mac Store to purchase its digital copy of OS.... !

  • @HT911Mac ever built your own pc? guess not ...

  • @rockapartie I did... don't make your own guesses ! :P

  • Poor balmer defending vista is like defending aids or cancer. Microsoft should be abolished forever!!!!

  • @tellthetruthyoumoron shut up microdoft still has the best windows xp and they have done a lot for the world

  • @tellthetruthyoumoron Why? Vista was not bad at all.

  • poor steve. :( 

  • Man, Steve Ballmer has balls. Ballmer is the man!

  • The MacBook air isn't apples response to netbooks, their answer to netbooks was too create the iPad and popularize the tablet

    The MacBook air is simply the normal laptop of the future where DVD usage has died off and it's truly happening with the Mac app store, chrome OS web store and even windows 8 is getting its own app store, so digital distribution for computer software is replacing using disk

  • @vgking699 "is replacing"? dude this already happened a decade ago ... but OSs will always be realeased on discs or whatever, since one can hardly visit a fancy app store on a machine without an OS.

  • ballmer is honest, factual, and respectful. the guy in hawaiian shirt, well, looks like he wipes steve job's ass.

  • "especially in the eu" okay, i'm not taking sides here, but that's some funny shit

  • Kawasaki is right. Vista was a disaster!

  • That dude use to work at Apple, which is why he is giving Ballmer so much trash.

  • This guy is a Bloody fucking asshole!!!

  • @iPhoneTipster the asian guy?

  • @Silber167 nah.... steve wozniak..

  • I am addicted to mac but this Monkey guy is not funny at all, such a rude! respect to Steve Ballmer!

  • iPad / iPhone = For scene kids, over-grown or not.

    Mac-Mini = For developers who don't mind having THIRTY % of thier profit taken by apple on every sale.

    Windows machines and phones = For fiscal conservatives or in layman's terms 75-99% of the human race.

    Andriod + Linux = For idealists who believe in democracy and people who have faith in thier fellow man / woman.

  • @temporaldisplacement what about imac users?

  • @Lvl71Turtle My uncle was a systems analist ....everytime someone tries selling me on a G4-5 whatever I say "why do you wish my cousins dead" ...I preffer the microsoft model ....it creates more jobs. (jokes ....more jobs ...I love it.)

  • @Lvl71Turtle what does wishing that your cousin is dead have to do with buying a mac...?

  • wow...steve is still the nutcase hat sold windows 1.0

  • A loser with hubris = the biggest loser

  • keep laughing

    

  • it funny now, that microsoft and computer manufactures are struggling a lot now to try to compete with the macbook airs because they are so dang popular now

  • @vgking699

    Apple is ahead in handheld devices in tablets by a lot.. but not laptops or home computers.

  • @Kloborgg

    It's mostly because people just tend to stick with what they know and there's a reason it's been stated that still about 56% of pc users are still using XP and haven't updated, its because windows users tend to stick with windows aren't likely to switch OS's entirely, that can be a huge thing to ask of anybody, but it doesn't mean they actually would prefer windows, they are just kinda settled in and feeling stuck with using windows and sales of Mac computers has been rising fast

  • and companies in the industry have noticed then popularity of SSD's, quick booting, long battery life, light weight and thin form factors and that's what the MacBook air is all about, and it's why now there is the new category called Ultrabooks, which are all just windows laptops trying to compete with MacBook airs

  • @vgking699

    People use Windows and Linux because every computer enthusiast knows the best way to go about getting a computer is to build your own. Apple still won't let you do that with their OS. Apple is becoming more and more appealing to the average user, but Windows will still remain strong in businesses and power-users for the foreseeable future.

  • @vgking699 isn't macbook air apple's answer to netbooks?

  • There is no arguing white mac fans their too dumb to make there own choice you just heard that guy how uses dvd any more.

    Instead of asking some important questions & making interesting remarks he just agrees ironically & loughs.

    Arguing white mac fans is like arguing white some religious fanatics it dose not matter what you say or what proof you bring they always disagree.

  • BALLMER = BALMY, what an idiot

    Are all americans on windows this crazy?

  • Comment removed

  • I find that on every Microsoft video, there's so much hate from windows users towards anyone who criticizes microsoft for ANYTHING. if you say anything unfavorable toward microsoft, these phonies automatically start spewing their hatred, calling you an apple fanboy, a mindless follower, blah blah blah. who is the real fanboy here?

  • Steve Ballmer VS Jackie Chan, now how awesome is that?

  • Was Vista really popular??? Somebody taken from street can certainly be a better CEO than him. Neither he knows what he's talking about, nor he has any knowledge in technology so far. He just knows how to push push push.... This is what he says everywhere! Actually it doesn't matter what for a crap, just puuuuush....

  • VISTA was not popular!! VISTA was a failure Ballmer, tell people the damn truth dude

  • @FirebrandNIRE the biggest flop in technology

  • I just don't understand how Steve Ballmer's crazy went undetected while he was at Harvard and Stanford

  • Steve Ballmer can suck cocks in hell

  • also blöder gehts nicht mehr!

    hab noch nieso einen volltrottel als

    ceo gesehn!!

    abartig

  • all microsoft does is copy apple. this guy is just jealous

  • @danielsepulveda2012 Xbox, windows, bing, WP7, surface, office, IE. Copies of Apple? Hahaha, go away.

  • Comment removed

  • @Pr0No08 Everything what MS has done and will do is taken and will be taken from Apple! They even can NOT improve the COPY a little bit.

  • @nxchannel Can you think of any?

  • @Pr0No08 spotlight, iCal, dashboard, exposé, iTunes, the aero theme copies the mac basic theme. And many more. Windows still has a registry, MORE viruses, dll hell, disk defrag is constantly annoying(although mac does it automatically), that stupid security thing where it asks for permissions for absolutely everything.

  • @dagr8master Half the things you listed aren't true. iCal, does apple own the rights to calenders now? And the Zune software is original and beat iTunes anyday. Disk defrag happens on all HDD, only SSD's don't need them. And btw, Windows can do it automatically too. And lastly that stupid security thingy can be turned off. As for your other points, I haven't looked in to them so I don't know if they're true or not, but I'll give you those.

  • @Pr0No08 umm... /watch?v=N-2C2gb6ws8

  • @dagr8master Really? Really? You got your information from Apple. And a 5 year old video, talking about Vista. Get out of the past, Windows 7 is out, and 8 is on the way. Apple is known for trying really hard to make things look like copies, like showing the app drawer in android trying to say it's the home screen. And modifying images of the Galaxy tab 10.1 so its the same size as the IPad in court. You really sound like a mindless follower, taking apple's word for everything and repeating it.

  • @Pr0No08 but what about spotlight, dashboard, exposé, iCal(which even the colour scheme is copied), and stickies? And I challenge you to think of something mac has copied

  • Because of his own products are so bad, he just knows how to degrade better products. If MS did better innovation i'd respect, but they sell the same shit since years to unbelievable prices.

  • No wonder why the board wants to get rid of this ballmer

  • He sure is funny, but a real idiot too. You cant deny the MacBook Air's success.

  • what the hell is your pc that's lighter than mba 8-}, bring it up=)))) fuck, i hate this old dump asshole.

  • I've been using a PC since i was a kid, i'm 27 years old now and i program professionally -for a living- in 4 different programming languages .. and at my spare time i'm a musician i use a PC for more than 12 hours a day, so that said, i can tell you, F@#$ windows and F@#$ osx .. man up and install linux :P .. don't pay those evil corporations your hard earned money is yours not Steve's or Bill's!

  • Vista wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be

  • lol.. so M$ went less relevent

  • Vista is a great OS, sure it had some problem in the beginning, because Microsoft couldnt stand idiots getting virus all the time and had to enhance security. And everyone who is complaining about Vista, havent used Vista! Its people with Mac OS who pretends that they have experience, but they have no skills at all when it comes to a bit of advanced OS.

  • I guess Kawasaki has Apple Care, but because Ballmer threw it back on him, it has no protection anymore.

  • u stupid fuck apparently like no one teached you english and how to read this comment wasnt for you dip shit!! it was just outloud i said it for!! @ Mastermind no wonder your so stupid are you using Vista Also lol

  • just be a comedian already

  • this man is FUCKING STUPID VISTA IS THE WORST WINDOWS EVA CREATED!!!!!! FUCK U STEVE DONT BE SAYING UR SHIT WORKING AND IT DOESNT IT JUST PRETTY!!

  • @reganrochford

    he's the ceo of microsoft you fucking dumbass, ofc hes gonna say that vista is great.

  • Vista was such crap, my god, made me so sour towards microsoft anything.

  • Microsoft's a goner under him

  • I love Apple. But even I have to be that dudes laughter is annoying as fuck.

  • Seriously, what's wrong with that man? He's just an unprofessional, immature douchebag. I have no idea how he became the CEO of Microsoft.

  • @YASxYT yeah indeed 'my pc is lighter than that' no shit macs are made of aluminium and his toshiba of plastic we all know which is heavier .....

    i like him for one reason

    he is the best commercial for apple and linux

  • @rubenandpimslapping True, he is a very bad icon for Microsoft.

  • Vista is a complete failure! Micro$oft continuing the tradition of providing lousy and inferior software: Windoz 95 – a joke, Windoz 98 – LOL, Windoz XP – eXtra Problems, Windoz – Vista downright sad and pathetic, Windoz 7 …the tradition continues.

  • @bbirdsr71 XP was ok, windopws 7 so far seems like a good op.

  • I wish that guy would stop fucking laughing.

  • LOOK AT HIM... hes a manatee! 

  • why so much hate for ballmer, he knows what hes talking about and he can mix it with a bit of humor

  • Is it me or is he a little like Homer Simpson

  • he is an embarrassment to Microsoft.

  • the best thing that happened to vista was windows 7

  • ballmer destroys bill's Great work with microsoft...

  • developers developers developers develop

  • Sparks flying here!

  • Balmer reminds me of one Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot

  • Ballmer is such a troll...

  • When he says consumer device does he mean Zune? 

  • Vista was a resource hog.

  • steve ballmer is a clown that can only play stupid when cornered (which happens often)

  • Jackie chan feat Steve Ballmer

  • Guy Kawasaki is not an idiot.

  • @MowgliX What is the differense between an idiot and an ass licker?

  • WINDOWS XP IS BETTER JUST SAYING

  • stop fucking laughing!!!!

  • Ballmer is such a CLOWN!

  • @manco82 Why do you think everyone in the Linux community preferes HIM as the CEO of Microsoft?

  • Ballmer is over the top; but he's backing up a sinking company.

  • @fmilluminatus Microsoft did over 60 billion in revenue last year. Yeah definitely sinking..........?

  • And you wonder why MS stock has been stagnant since he took over as CEO in Jan 2001.

  • hahahhaha i f*ckn love steve ballmer

  • @shoomness he made Microsoft lose a tremendous amount of money !

  • Steve Ballmer: A funny guy in the body of a child molester with the voice of a retard!

  • this guys laughs over anything.

  • Ballmer kiks apple fanatic ass

    Windows win, Mac OS suxx

  • Ballmer has no vision. The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's only recent success and that basically paid for it with cheques to game studios and out advertising Nintendo and Sony combined. The MacBook Air will be the next portable machine I get with nice SSD drive. I can remember the last time i used a DVD.

  • For the life of me, I do not understand Microsoft's position on Apple these days. All Macs can run Windows. These copies of Windows are not the OEM versions. That means the Mac users have to purchase those copies of Windows at sticker price. So WTF already?

  • steve ballmer is the al bundy of micosoft.

  • Mac > Linux > Windows

  • @coolsnoopy730 Palm (RIP) >Mac > Linux > Windows,

    popularity over the world?---> Windows > Linux > Mac > Palm (RIP)

  • while most of what the interviewer said was right, he didnt have to be such a dick about it. Steve B. was at least trying to explain some of the problems and that things were being done to fix it...every OS has issues, Vista had more issues than normal, but it got better, it wasnt the end of the world. this dickhead didnt have to keep laughing at steve.

  • "... the TOE-SHIBA I carry"

    Idiot, lol

  • @miniroll32

    Actually "TOE-SHIBA" as you spelled it, is the correct way to pronounce the name.

    Ballmer has it right.  There is only one way to read it, and no, you are not free to read it differently as some say "to-mah-to" or "to-mae-to" just because it's written in Roman characters. (You are reading Roman letters right now, in case you were unaware) The Japanese also sometimes write in Roman characters, and there is only ONE way to read it. "Tah-shiba" no, "Toh-shiba" no, "Toe-shiba" yes.

  • this chineese guy haven't seen vista. Vista was flawless on my machine.

  • @sergiomarchelli Vista was the reason I got a Mac. Never looked back.

  • @samueljweston haha, cliche. I never had a problem with Vista. :-).

  • @sergiomarchelli The only legit problem I had was Vista not installing raid drivers. I think it should have been able to deal with that in how 7 does.

  • @netiaz in fact I never used raid, for what is it?

  • @sergiomarchelli Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). For example, I used RAID 0 "It provides improved performance and additional storage but no fault tolerance." (Wikipedia) I found it to be really fast and never had problems outside of initially installing Vista. Data is divided among and read and wrote to two or more disk at one time. This is my understanding, anyway.

  • @sergiomarchelli Not a cliche for me. It completely destroyed my (at the time) £900 Toshiba laptop.

  • @sergiomarchelli Me neither.

  • Ballmer has no focus, he is just loud. He talks and talks and make you dizzy. you can tell because he does not inspires and you do not know where he is going. With Steve Jobs you learn stuff and you leave with a direction.

    I saw Windows 8 and the thing is going to be so mayor failure, pretty interface but the navigation is absurd.

  • @vjrei

    " pretty interface but the navigation is absurd." That's the definition of my iPod

  • Where is the DVD drive?? Um Look at windows Netbooks! And a DVD drive sucks power so you would not use a DVD on a flight! by or rent moviest for a few bucks on Itunes in Full HD!!!

  • Can he not speak properly, he a shouting buffoon!

  • @idparkinson "he a shouting buffoon". "me man. me make fire. me post comment".

  • xD Shouting buffoon !!! 

  • I get what u mean

  • Comment removed

  • Jealous as fuck.

  • Also watching this on an iPad

  • Steve Ballmer lacks vision! end of.

    My dogs sees the future better!

  • Watching this on an Ipad

  • @arodaman No flash. Lame.

  • Micro$oft is so proud of X Box [which they make no money on] they hide their logo in 10pt font on the packaging. This is the Al Bundy of tech.

  • If only Ballmer would be just being sarcastic. But he actually means it, just like the immature pathetic little baby he truly is. Pathetic.
