Did I really see that ?!!?!

So yesterday I am sitting in the lobby of a building on the Microsoft campus, since I arrived a few minutes early for a meeting.  Out of the corner of my eye, I notice what I think is a familiar figure entering the building. Yes, it was Bill Gates - reminding me that this building also has the executive offices.  But I've seen Bill up close before, so this is not what this posting is about.

What had me staring in disbelief was what I saw 2 minutes later. Steve Balmer walking across the lobby, smiling and joking with whom seemed to be a good buddy of his - Scott McNealy !!

Wow...

  • I guess that flies in the face of reports (er rumor mill and pundits) who keep wanting to say that the relationship is already breaking down. I for one am glad to see a sign that it is still growing.

  • That's because Scott knows his last stake in the software industry (Java) is on it's way out of being useful. Might as well buddy up with who ever you can.

  • Actually, this shouldn't surprise anyone. Look at the link and see this kind of relationship only four months old :-D

  • As I understand it, McNealy and Ballmer are actually friends from way back, so it's no huge surprise.
