(Continued)     September 4, 2004 edition
In other news on Thursday, a spirited Steve Ballmer said that Microsoft is really determined in challenging Google for leadership in the search business. "It'll be a lot of fun for the rest of you to watch," Ballmer shouted to the delight of several hundred guests at a meeting of the Massachusetts Software Council in Boston. Ballmer, who took over as chief executive from cofounder Bill Gates in 2000, came to Boston for meetings with customers. He also visited the Timothy Smith Foundation, which runs computer technology centers in the Roxbury area. There, Ballmer and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino unveiled a donation of $400,000 in Microsoft products.

At the software council meeting, Ballmer scoffed at the idea that the technology industry's boom times are over. "The next 10 years will bring more positive changes than the last 10 years did," he said. Then he listed a host of challenges the industry has not met. For example, Ballmer wondered why many of his listeners were jotting down notes as he spoke. "Why isn't this meeting being recorded electronically?" he asked. "Why isn't it being broadcast on the wireless network in this room? It's just a question of software."
