It's ... Steeeve Balmer For Microsoft Windows Phone 8
- Engadget, Tuesday, October 30, 2012 8 AM
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer hasn't been in ads for the company since Windows 10 and (remember these?) 286-based PCs. In those ads he played a Crazy Eddie-type wacko, complete with plaid jacket. Now, 26 years later, he's back to tout Windows Phone 8 event. The executive takes us through his daily affairs as seen on Live Tiles on his HTC Windows Phone 8X. We learn he gets important advice from Bill Gates, and offers not too much to his kids, who don't want it. Ads at the link.
