Ballmer hails services death and glory for partners

,----[ Quote ]
| Steve Ballmer has told Microsoft partners not to fear a future where software 
| is delivered as a service, even though some will end up as road kill in the 
| migration online.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| It was a cold message of inevitability from a man who last year dismissed 
| as "naive" those who believed software as a service (SaaS) would supplant 
| client-based computing, while also calling those who dismissed online 
| services as "troglodytes".

The same man who called a certain thing "cancer", later adopted it and called
it #1 competitor.
