When the Windows 7 launch parties were announced most people thought Microsoft had hit rock bottom in regards to their disconnect from the human species but we were wrong. Perhaps Windows 8 is where they hit rock bottom.

I attended a Christmas party at the home of one of the MS execs last year and they guy had Christmas lights formed into a huge MS logo on his lawn. Seriously it was the most gaudy thing I had ever seen on anyone's lawn let alone on a multimillion dollar estate.

I have attended social events where I have been around lots of other MS execs and they are not impressive people to say the least. I never actually spoke to Steve Balmer but have been within earshot of him at a few events and if you did not know he was a MS exec you would think he was a sales manager for Xerox machines or something.
