Ballmer's threat last November was recounted in a sworn declaration by a former Microsoft engineer, Mark Lucovsky, who said he met with Microsoft's chief executive 10 months ago to discuss his decision to leave the company after six years.
After learning Lucovsky was leaving to take a job at Google, Ballmer picked up his chair and hurled it across his office, according to the declaration.

Ballmer then pejoratively berated Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Lucovsky recalled.
"I'm going to f---ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again," the declaration quotes Ballmer. "I'm going to f---ing kill Google."

I could've figured he was the angry one at M$, he's probably bending Billy over every which way but he doesn't care cuz it makes him rich.
A question remains when looking at Ballmer's behavior toward competitive companies. Was it Bill Gates who made Microsoft evil, or did he just make it suck and Ballmer made it evil. The latter is my take.
Lead Head:
He has big anger management problems, I think he might have made microsoft evil to. He probably can kill google but the fact the he through his chair acroos the room

Oh, please, Bill Gates is obviously evil, a trait he apparently inherited from the corporate whore he calls a father. Bill Balmer is hardly the only scum he's recruited.
