All Microsoft employees will soon get one of these:

And one of these:

And ofcourse a Windows 8 PC in their office.
So Santa Ballmer's popularity is probably on top internally in Microsoft. It is a generous action considering that Microsoft has 90.000 employees. And Microsoft is generally seen as a good place to work so this will not hurt in that department either.

And all because the management is nice...

Some thought might also have gone to the marketing bit where Microsoft more than ever is depending on all their people to implement their product in the market and that they probably have a Samsung or Apple phone/tablet today.....
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

I think it may have something to do with Steve Ballmer winning at being a loser.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

They already do have that, actually, and they use it to the hilt.

They also have the certified booting thing going on.
