Ballmer on YouTube, Zune and ... everything else

BusinessWeek has posted a transcript of its interview with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer from earlier this week. Lots of interesting stuff in there, including an extended version of Ballmer's comments on the YouTube valuation, an explanation of why Google outbid Microsoft for the MySpace advertising deal, the effect of Bill Gates' retirement announcement, Ballmer's thoughts on the Zune price, and his outlook on the Windows Vista antitrust situation in Europe.

FEATURED COMMENT

PictureThis is one employee who's mostly stopped eating in the cafeterias because of this. I don't like having the 'green' religion pushed on me, and the utensils are now designed for different criteria than functionality."

-- Reader on Data: Microsoft eateries earn 'green' status.
