Ballmer: Windows 7 is ‘The Best Ever’

Fear me, for I am a bat.

This guy never quits, does he? Ballmer is completely infamous for his downright strange way of promoting his business, Microsoft, in various matters. He’s also famous for downright fanboyism actions, like stamping on an employee’s iPhone, or the ‘developers’ chants, both of which are YouTube viral videos.

This time, Ballmer is insisting that Windows 7 has had double the sales of any other OS ever in this period of time. If he’s being honest, it’s not too unbelievable – the hype around the OS and the preorders were the highest ever. If so, it means it’s still selling well. And to be fair to the man, it’s already accounting for 4% of web-accessing devices – Vista realised this result after over 7 months.

But the man can’t stay at this level of modesty. “Windows 7 is simply the best PC operating system that we or anyone else has ever built,” he stated.

Oh well. Ballmer can live in his little world for a bit longer.
