Ballmer Speaks - State of the Zune!

Steve Ballmer · 06-10-2008, 07:41 PM

I was greatly distressed to see so many of you considering leaving the Zune for a $199 iPhomb!
People, people, people!
I came to remind you that the Zune is much more than the sum of it's parts!

The Zune is the way you think, feel, act, it is an expression of the essence of your independent being~!
Shall we falter?
Shall we fail?
When the tides of mediocrity beat against our souls, shall we go with the flow?
I say NOOOOO! No my bruthers! No muh Sistah!
Weeee shall stand! We shall walk! We shall hold our heads high!
When the bustling throng says yeah, we shall say nay!
Be strong!
Be encouraged!
The Zune is here! We shall proclaim it from the rooftops of every hamlet, city, village!

"I am strong! I am a Zuner! I will not be beat down! I shall not change!"

very motivational. Btw, even if the iphone is 200 bucks, the phone service price got jacked up, so it's even more expensive than the iphone v1

I have alway been able to wax eloquent in prolific disortations!

I just want the public to "catch-on"

The Zune isn't a cult

. It's a device.

Steve Ballmer · 06-15-2008, 04:56 PM

We think for ourselves!
So buy another Zune, NOW!

Was I supposed to get chills?

FYI, it's "yea" not "yeah"

No big deal, I'm just saying.
