Microsoft's Ballmer tells lurvely partners to stick it to IBM [printer-friendly] | The Register

Microsoft's Ballmer tells lurvely partners to stick it to IBM [printer-friendly] | The Register: "Steve Ballmer has lambasted IBM, Linux and SAP while exhorting thousands of partners to bet their next 10 years on Windows and Microsoft services.
A pumped-up and sweating Ballmer informed Microsoft's Worldwide partner conference on Sunday morning that IBM is a spent competitive challenge that is pushing sub-par software, while he worked the crowd's concerns over IP and patents by talking of so-called 'rumors' that Linux violates more than 200 patents."

Looks like the gloves are off...
