Guy Kawasaki asks Steve Ballmer: Why do you want to buy Yahoo?

Guy Kawasaki interviewed Steve Ballmer at MIX '08 at the Venetican in Vegas earlier this month. It's very very interesing! Smile Here are a couple quotes from the first 4 mintues of it:

  • Guy Kawasaki : "Why do you want to buy Yahoo?"
  • Steve Ballmer: "We made an offer. It's out there baby!"
  • Guy Kawasaki : "Why didn't you hire me back in '87?" ... "I think it's racist"
  • Guy Kawasaki : "Steve Jobs never invites me to do this"
  • Guy Kawasaki : "Don't pick up any chairs and throw it at me. Don't go monkey on me either!"
  • Guy Kawasaki : "The Y word is all about the G word"
  • Guy Kawasaki : "Do you think you have to do Google in?"
  • Guy Kawasaki : "you can't even bring yourself to say the Google word can you?"
  • Steve Ballmer : "Google, Google,Google,Google"
  • Guy Kawasaki : "Do you have little pictures of Larry and Sergey that you throw darts at?"
  • Steve Ballmer : "We're just the little engine that could."
  • Guy Kawasaki : "What do you think about Apple? Is it a little chiwawa that you kick away?"

LOL, good stuff. Awesome interview! The whole time Kawasaki is sitting there with a MacBook Air on his lap! I highly recommend everyone check it out.

Excellent interview, as far as a microsoft hosted interview can beTong

The choice of interviewer helps create the sense that microsoft is presenting an honest and transparent face at least.

Oh yeah, choosing Kawasaki to do the interview was a great marketing decision by MS. I wonder if that was Ballmer's decision?
