And let me start with a quote: "I didn't pull you out of Stanford
Business School to bankrupt the company" — that's Bill Gates,
early on, arguing with the man he'd just hired as Microsoft's
first ever business manager. That man of course was Steve
Ballmer, and the two of them would go on to build one of the most
valuable companies in history together, through huge arguments, a
legendary contract with IBM, and a decade of ruthless sales
tactics that got Windows onto practically every computer on the
planet. This episode takes Ballmer from his childhood right up to
becoming Microsoft's CEO in 2000. It's a cracker — enjoy.
