Steve Ballmer spoke to the Seattle PI this week, commenting that Google’s pace of employee growth is ‘insane,’ and the company has few successful businesses outside of Internet search and advertising. He referred to Google’s non-search efforts as ‘cute.’ Google’s current number of employees is nearly doubling each year. ‘I don’t really know that anybody’s proven that a random collection of people doing their own thing actually creates value.’
Is Ballmer scared? Nah. It’s no secret good coders are sought after like gold though. Microsoft might have to start paying more to keep their best ones. Although after using Vista, I am wondering if they have such a thing to begin with.
I’m kidding. Calm down.
