Ballmer and Yang: The last words
If you were to put Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in the ring, you would expect the boistrous Ballmer to be left standing. With Microsoft taking its offer to Yahoo home, it's hard to tell who the real winner is in the long run. Microsoft certainly coveted Yahoo. However, if Yahoo falls on its face in coming months, Microsoft could be back...with a lower offer. Consider this a chapter closing in a longer tale, whose ending we don't precisely know.
Jerry Yang and Steve Ballmer last words.

I've seen all of Microsoft's newcoming products and I've worked with their engineers. All I can say is, Microsoft engineers and the technologies Microsoft has to offer will set and BE the standards....oh...and let's not forget Linux as well. =P
Always good to have Linux with Microsoft Environment... it's like fortifying your Corporate/Enterprise IT structure with pure STEROID....
