In his speech, Ballmer addressed a range of other topics, including several Asian countries' efforts to develop a Windows competitor. "I don't think it's likely to prove useful," Ballmer said. "I don't think it's going to wind up being the big competitor we see--even in those markets."

Translation: We're scared. They've got a pretty good product.

He also touched on Apple Computer's position in the marketplace. "Apple is doing some good, innovative work," he said.

Translation: We've got teams of folks working on duplicating it right now.
