[clue-talk] Ballmer - killing google

[Jeff Cann]

I hate when stuff at the office ends up in court depositions...

"Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer vowed to "kill" Google in an expletive-laced, 
chair-throwing tirade when a senior engineer told him he was leaving the 
company to go work for Google, the engineer claimed in court documents made 
public on Friday."

Late Friday, Ballmer issued a statement disputing Lucovsky's declaration. 
"Mark Lucovsky's account of our conversation last November is a gross 
exaggeration of what actually took place," Ballmer said. "Mark's decision to 
leave was disappointing and I urged him strongly to change his mind. But his 
characterization of that meeting is not accurate."
