Ballmer Goes Ballistic

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is known for his, uh, enthusiasm.

Check out this court filing that tells of Booming Ballmer's reaction when he found out a top executive had defected to Google.

"At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: 'F------ (Google Chief Executive) Eric Schmidt is a f------ p----. I'm going to f------ bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f------ kill Google.'"


Soprana, I mean Ballmer, says that account is a "gross exaggeration".

I just hope someone got the video.
