Steve Ballmer publicly confiscated the iPhone from a Microsoft VS employee. IBM banned 360,000 employees from using Microsoft Office.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) publicly confiscated the iPhone from one of his subordinates at a private event in Seattle, Washington, devoted, among other things, to the release of the second version of the search engine Bing. The event took place last Thursday, September 10, reports Hot Hardware.
According to TechFlash, the incident occurred when an employee of Microsoft attempted to shoot Ballmer on his iPhone’s camera. Ballmer saw it, went over and took away his mobile phone, then went back to the stage, put it on the floor and pretended to be trampling the device, after which he switched to speech again. The whole thing was broadcast on the big screen, and each of the visitors could see the demonstrative “lynching”. Later at the event, Ballmer returned to this event to make sure that everyone remembered the lesson well.
It is known that Microsoft does not welcome the use of iPhone and other Apple devices in its ranks, since Apple is one of the company's main competitors in the market of personal computers, software, music players and smartphones. Similar prohibitions apply to Ballmer’s family, as well as to the family of Microsoft’s founder Bill Gates.
