Just got this email today, maybe old?

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer vowed to "kill" Google in an
expletitive-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.

In a sworn statement made public Friday, Mark Lucovsky,
another Microsoft senior engineer who left for Google in
November 2004, recounted Ballmer's angry reaction when
Lucovsky told Ballmer he was going to work for the search
engine company.

"At some point in the conversation, Mr. Ballmer said:
'Just tell me it's not Google,'"Lucovosky said in his
statement. Lucovosky replied that he was joining Google.

"At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it
across the room hitting a table in his office," Lucovosky
recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade
about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "I'm going to f***ing bury
that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again.
I'm going to f***ing kill Google." Schmidt previously
worked for Sun Microsystems and was the CEO of Novell.

Google is a bunch of commie pinkoes. They have never allowed the advertising of legal firearm stores, but up until recently you could have the phrases 'child rape', 'kiddie porn' and the like as ad words.

Hmm... assuming this is true, Google can go fuck itself.

Personally I could give two shits if google runs a sweatshop to keep it's servers running, as long as it keeps those searches working, I'll use it.

I mean for christs sake, who cares about the politics of a search engine.

Google rocks, isnt there fault theres sick cunts around, but that filter should have been added at the start along with necrphilia, thought that would be common sense for such a worldwide influential search engine.

But in the end, the people we should be mad at is the government and secret services for aollowing this shit to get on the net in the first place :/

Jesus fucking Jah that is rediculous! I love Google but I fucking hate it when a company tries to cram their politics down your throat.

Right on.

Google won't advertise on my live music site because they deemed it 'illegal' even though it's all perfectly legal.

Is this why Microsoft is trying to emulate what google does but suck at it still?

They should stick to making a good O/S
