  • Ballmer to crackers: this PC ain't big enough for the both of us - The recent deluge of Internet worms and security vulnerabilities affecting Windows will not affect Microsoft's ability to "innovate", CEO Steve Ballmer pledged yesterday. Ballmer told an audience at the Churchill Club in Santa Clara, California, that "better security and constant innovation go hand in hand". Essentially this was a message for the markets- all these security problems are not going to slow our production of newer, bigger, more expensive stuff. On the plus side, Ballmer acknowledged that Blaster and the like are causing customers "pain" and that patching is a problem. He said Microsoft felt "humbled by the events of the last few weeks"....heh good one :)
