Steve Ballmer uses a Mac for presentations

Mac on Podium, Proven Fake! Here's the Real Thing!
The scandalous allegations by a couple of fakers that I used a Mac to run a presentation has been proven to be completely bogus! Here is the photographic evidence:My personal PI, Jack Stone, uncovered an unretouched copy from one of the culprit's personal computers (they have macs).
PI Jack Stone gained entry into Paint.it.Black's trailer in the Sahddy Grove trailer park by posing as an exterminator, his final report says:

"I pretended to be giving away my exterminatory services as a public service for the day, PIB was overjoyed! I convinced him he had to leave for a few hours while I fumigated the 12'x24'. The domicile was alive with vermin of all types, but, my objective was his computer. Per Mr. Ballmer's instructions, I cloned the entire drive and upon completion reformatted the original and installed Vista Home Edition via bootcamp. On my departure, I sprayed two full cans of Raid Yard Guard throughout the place, it didn't seem to do much good."

The geeks here at MS retrieved this original photo from the clone.
The resulting ORIGINAL photos clearly show I was actually using my Sony Viao!

CASE CLOSED! CONTROVERSY OVER! URBAN LEGEND DISPELLED!

Paint.it.black and Chubbystar, you both may yet be hearing from our lawyers soon! (That's if they don't call the local police department about some of the other more "disturbing" photographs we found first!)

It wouldn't surprise me. Microsoft is a Software company, they make the same money, if not more, to have Windows loaded on a Mac. Either way, it has been proven that MacBooks are very decent Windows machines. I would not be surprised to see many Macs around the MS campus, sure, its ironic. But is is basically a nice looking PC when it has Windows on it. My old College bought an entire lab of iMacs that only boot Windows. There is really no argument. However, it is unfortunate that just seeing a Mac no longer means, in my eyes, that they are a "Mac User"

Who cares what he was using? I just love that picture of ballmer you guys used for the story.

Wasn't this over already ?!

TUAW: All aboard the failboat!

The issues with blogs is the "First to Post" mentality. Being that TUAW post stories a little bit later than other tech blog sites perhaps they should take a more traditional journalistic mentality and take these blog stories, fact check them then post a story... with actual facts :)

TUAW talks to Ballmer who confirms that the Mac was left by a previous presenter.

Less fanboy. More content.

Boo. Where's the digg down button? :P

I think we have all established the MBP is not his, so can we please take this post down, or at least alter the misleading and fallacious title?

LOL. Desperate apple fanboy trying to paint everything as apple land. It wasn't his. It was the previous presenters according to this picture: http://flickr.com/photos/choubistar/2439499170/
