Steve Ballmer was CEO of Microsoft for 14 years. There were golden and hilarious moments. He left office but apparently his passion for Microsoft was not shaken.
In an interview with Reuteurs, Steve Ballmer talked about his latest acquisition, the NBA basketball team, the Los Angeles Clippers (whose sale cost 2 Billion USD to Steve Ballmer's Pockets).
According to the former Microsoft CEO some elements of the club still use competing devices (in this case Apple) and their goal is to bring the best mobile experience to the club, meaning everyone will have to move to the Windows world .
Speaking about the first interaction he had with the Clippers coach, Doc Rivers, the former CEO of Microsoft described the following:
“One of the first things he said to me: We’ll probably have to get rid of these iPads, right?
- And I said: Yes, we probably will. ” But I promised that I would do it at the end of the season. “
So get ready to see lots of Microsoft ads in Los Angeles, in the lush “Staples Center” pavilion. If fashion catches on, Apple will also want to buy an NBA team ...
