From: Marc Aniballi <marcaniballi () hotmail com> Dave; I spent some time on the inside at MS and I have to say, this is status quo for Steve at internal events; He is a powerhouse of enthusiasm (on and off stage). You could take clips from his presentations at major internal events from the past 20 years and although age may have mellowed him somewhat, it's hard to see. Let's not forget that, while there are lots of disparagers of the company, it is a company filled with highly intelligent people who often perform small miracles; I wish I could find the interviews with Larry Ellison and Scott McNealy who were both asked on separate occasions back in the late nineties; "If you could be the Chairman/CEO of any company in the world, which would it be?" and both answered Microsoft. If you were known as the company's Uber-Booster and that company had put you in the top 20 richest men in the world category, would you begrudge them a little craziness in the name of morale?
