We all know what this means, approach them at the end of their fiscal year when they haven't made enough acquisitions to meet their annual quota. Guaranteed buyout :P


Sounds silly... Why would you throw out a number like that? Is he trying to impress investors?


Adquisition competence is always good for all of us :)



Nice picture of Ballmer there.
