How can Ballmer be an enemy? He is so much fun. Seriously. If I'm in a bad mood or something, all I need to watch is Steve Ballmer, and I'm happy again. :P
Besides, he keeps my motivation up. If a monkey like Ballmer can be one of the worlds richest, there is hope for anyone
What's an open source enemy? One that comes with the source included so the enemy can be improved and given back to the community? Maybe someone should check the Ballmer code; I'm sure it was biting bugs that caused the infamous monkey dance. I guess that is why he was calling out for DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, AAAAARGH, GET ME SOME DEVELOPERS!!!

If he does more performances like that, he will end up in hospital. Fortunately, his organism is open-source, and surgeons might still be able to patch his heart.
The guy has really worked his way up to become...well, what he has become...
The ones I hate are Bill Gates & Steve Ballmer. They're the masterminds behind the attacks against Linux & open source and they're also the ones that made the majority of people out there bumbling idiots who WANT to depend on M$ and be screwed over every time. The rest are either in their own shit (Steve Jobs/Apple) or are sock puppets of BG/SB (SCO).
He was listing all the things it could do, and said "Do you think it costs $500? $1000? Even more? Not, just $99!".
But Linux is free and could do more than that!
I also thought it was funny when he said in the second video that XP is "secure"!
Code:
Current data is only available till 2009. In 2009, $99.00 from 1981 is worth:
$234.00 using the Consumer Price Index
$208.00 using the GDP deflator
$235.00 using the unskilled wage
$259.00 using the Production Worker Compensation
$338.00 using the nominal GDP per capita
$451.00 using the relative share of GDP
Average is $287.50 for today's prices.
That was expensive.
