What laptop does Steve Ballmer use?
This picture made it to the front page of Digg today (along with the new iMac updates). Apparently it's a MacBook Pro left by the speaker before Ballmer. What I want to know is why does the MBP have a light grey stripe on the front. Is it a reflection or a sticker the owner put on perhaps? Either way, it's pretty funny.
Looks like a shadow from the big MacBook Pro-covering Micro$oft banner to me.
The picture of the MacBook Pro got on Digg and Gizzmodo completely without my intention. The truth is there were two MacBook Pro's on stage which were alternated for the different presentations. Steve Ballmer didn't touch them, but I guess they were provided by the organizer and that one of them was actually used for his presentation. Still I found it a too funny view and I had to take a shot of it with my iPhone. This is no Photoshop are set-up situation...

OMG!!! That's soooo sad. I'm gonna go cry now.
That is the worst thing ever. x2 on the gonna go cry now. I just hope someone helped out... somehow.
Is that really a fail? How do we know it's not running Vista?
MS doesn't make the computers. If they like MBPs to run Vista versus other vendors' notebooks it's not really a problem for them. If it were booting OSX then I could see it being a failure.
Microsoft doesn't care what hardware you use, as long as you're buying their software.
There used to be an old anecdote about Microsoft and their IBM AS/400 servers. Every year the company representative would supposedly get up and say they were getting rid of the AS/400's. So every year they bought upgraded ones from IBM and got rid of the old ones...

It's not so much "MS doesn't make the computers" it was more the topic "What laptop does Steve Ballmer use?" and we all know how Ballmer is ANTI-APPLE regardless of the hardware. Ballmer has nothing but hatred for Apple products. So this is just a humerous fail at the expense of Ballmer not MS.
They don't seem to fit through the holes if you think about it. I think the third photograph might've been taken out of context. Anyway I didn't mean to make anyone cry
This was last year, and relax.
