"We’re taking more steps to be careful and limited in what people can do on
our processors."
Sounds like they want to extend the EULA software leasing business to hardware
as well..
Personally when I buy a computer, I consider the processor and all other bits to
be mine and I choose the limits for what gets done on it..
Considering the current public domain versus GPL campaigning, it's nice to see
Mr Ballmer remind people why user freedom is just as important as developer
freedom..[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

>unless one considers 10,000 Surfaces a super computer.
Maybe he thinks that the Surface can be used as a Beowulf Cluster. Or a
MicroWulf. Or something else along those lines.

The super-computer remark is in the author's lead-in. It doesn't look like
Ballmer said that.
Of course, what he did say shows a level of cluelessness and reality disconnect
that should make a corporate board scared, yet he keeps his job...
Particularly his remark about Windows8 adoption rates being "perfect",
and how "the market shifted almost intantaneously".
I have to admit that I think the adoption rates are quite a hoot, but even from
my altogether different-than-Ballmer perspective, perfect would be a stretch.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
