I am developing s solid dislike for the BS that always surrounds figures, but I guess if you took away the hyperbole Ballmer wouldn't have much to say. I certainly wouldn't go near the words "exciting" and "enthusiastic" in this context, but I guess "desperate" doesn't go so well with trying to retain share value..

...but steam gaming on Linux is brilliant.. and less and less people will need MS for having fun..
There is no need to spend ridiculous amount of money to enjoy it !
Well I reckon secure bios is "very" popular...
