The Bach Seat Steve Ballmer farewell tour continues as rumors swirl about Ford (F) CEO Alan Mulally taking over at Microsoft. Or will Bill Gates returning ala Steve Jobs to save Redmond. Whatever the grand poobah’s at MSFT are thinking. They will probably never find another CEO like Steve.
Here is newly minted CEO Ballmer opening up the company’s 25th Anniversary in September 2000, doing what he calls a “monkey dance” and shouting “give it up for me!” When he finally calms down, barely able to speak between gasps of air, he manages to shout four words: “I .. Love … This … Company!”
