| At a Wharton Leadership Lecture this past December, Ballmer noted
| that the two biggest competitive threats to Microsoft are open
| source software and advertising supported applications. "Right now,

| one is Google. But it's not the companies, it's the phenomena" that
| present the greatest challenge to Microsoft, said Ballmer.
