Ballmer gives teens the dirt
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
If you could face the CEO of Microsoft and ask anything in the world, what would it be? A few Seattle-area minority students got a shot Friday morning at the company's annual Blacks @ Microsoft student day. Despite a 40- minute speech from Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and a lengthy demo of the Zune digital music player's capabilities, the first question from a Tacoma student concerned the software giant's archrival, Apple.
"When the iPhone comes out, how will it affect the sales of the Zune and the different developments coming up for Microsoft?" asked Christopher German, 15, of Stadium High School.
