Five reasons why Ballmer-Bot would be better than Ballmer
Bill Gates yesterday took to the stage with Ballmer-Bot – an endearing, egg-chucking robot with the head of Steve Ballmer.
Here’s five reasons why it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give the robot Ballmer’s job permanently:
- It wouldn’t sweat like a pig with a faulty thermostat when bounding round the stage yelling “developers, developers, developers.”
- Robots run on logic – there’s no chance of it spunking away $47 billion on Yahoo.
- It might catch on. Imagine Johnny Five running Google, and R2-D2 taking over at Apple. Press conferences would be awesome.
- Robots get things done on time. Windows 7 would definitely arrive as promised in 2009.
- Outbound attacks on the likes of Linux, Apple and Sun would be blocked by Ballmer-Bot’s built-in Windows Security Center. Then again, perhaps not…

Hopefully ‘Bullmer-Bot’ will be more internationally minded and not try to ’screw’ all MS clients in order to benifit it’s Nord American clients. Long live XP Pro……death to Vista, it’s a con.
