Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer isn't exactly a prolific tweeter. He has two accounts and has only tweeted 66 times. So when he does use Twitter, Ballmer, who now owns the Los Angeles Clippers, isn't one to mince words.
After Wednesday's sterling Windows 10 event -- an event that generated a considerable amount of long-missed buzz for Microsoft -- Ballmer expressed his continued fondness for the company, despite his significantly reduced role. He was Microsoft's chief executive for 14 years before Satya Nadella took the helm last year. In August, he resigned from Microsoft's board.
Today made all MSFT employees proud, customers excited and shareholders salivate. The wave of windows 10 hw, services OS rocks I love MSFT— Steve Ballmer (@stevebmicrosoft) January 22, 2015
"Today made all MSFT employees proud, customers excited and shareholders salivate. The wave of windows 10 hw, services OS rocks. I love MSFT," he tweeted.
The most ambitious and most-talked-about announcement from the event is, of course, Windows Holographic and its companion HoloLens headset. In a completely unanticipated twist, Microsoft showed off its augmented reality hologram system that's poised for launch sometime this fall.
Other than that, Microsoft also detailed its new browser (which notably ditches the Internet Explorer moniker), as well as a slew of plans for Windows 10.
It seems like Ballmer is just as excited about the reborn Microsoft as everybody else.
