The Web According to Ballmer

BusinessWeek is running a great interview with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The interview covers a ton of ground, beginning with Google’s YouTube acquisition and ending with Vista. In between, Ballmer talks about the Web 2.0 valuations and “Bubble 2.0,” the business transition from Xbox to Xbox 360, Microsoft’s recent high-profile hires, Bill Gates’ impending departure, Microsoft’s competition, and, of course, the Zune. Vista is a disappointingly small part of the discussion, but it’s still worth a read if you’re interested in what Microsoft is up to.
