Microsoft CEO Admits to Brainwashing Kids
 
I found this hilarious. In an interview with CNN Money, he was asked if he owns an iPod. He replied: "No, I do not. Nor do my children. My children--in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod."

I wonder if that's how Microsoft handles their small business division. To get companies to BUY less-stable software, they'd have to brainwash them, haha.

An uncle of mine worked for a Coca-Cola Company franchised bottler. Dude's been retired for like 10 years; still won't even look in the general direction of a Pepsi product.

honestly, if your dad was worth 10 billion dollars because of the work he has put in to help build microsoft, im pretty sure that if you were in that position you wouldn't have a problem with it. Good for Ballmer, not only can he control the most powerful company in the world, but he has control over the kids too. The man has balls to admit that on national tv. He could have pussed out and said "I let my children choose freely on what technologies they use" No he stood up and told everyone he would kick their rears if he found Google in their IE history. If I were steve ballmers kids, I would use Firefox if I wanted to look at google, then he would never find out. :)
Then I would put the windows hack on my video ipod. Then that way I wouldn't get grounded.
