Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, is full of prophecies these days and continues to amuse us with statements that boast the development strategies applied by the company and the special attention young employees and users are getting.
In other words, in Ballmer's vision, Apple and Google are constantly in the public's attention and enjoy a lot of
positive publicity, but users still go for Microsoft's solutions.
Ballmer bragged about Microsoft having sales 50 times bigger than Apple and about the better position the giant from Redmond has in the relation with client-companies compared to the leader of online searches. Moreover, Ballmer emphasized that Microsoft is focusing its attention on youths that can be adopted and trained in the company's spirit.
Talking about the Apple-Intel partnership, Ballmer concluded that it doesn't affect Microsoft since the company is recording sales 50 times bigger than Apple and this fact has been proved every day in the last 20 years.
About Google, Ballmer ignored the preferences of billions of users and said that corporate solutions like SharePoint, obviously developed by Microsoft, are much more popular than any Google counter-product.
Indeed, Microsoft is a very large corporation with a wide range of products. But this doesn't mean that their solutions are the best and perhaps Mr. Ballmer should leave aside for a while the exaggerated optimism and try to see things as they are.
