Steve Ballmer is a bit of a controversial figure, depending on who you ask, but no matter how you twist it, he was the CEO of Microsoft for a very long time, spawning multiple memes, memorable moments and both good and bad memories.
We collected a set of the most memorable Ballmer moments, to celebrate the former CEO's sixty-first birthday, which is today, and to laugh a little — maybe even cry.
1. Developers, developers, developers!
This fascinating meme has spread way beyond the Microsoft community and infected minds worldwide with its rhythmic nature. When Steve Ballmer gave a presentation on Microsoft's twenty-fifth anniversary, Steve couldn't handle his maniacal energy, and he let it all out by shouting "developers" multiple times as loud as he could, while energetically (and sweatily) waving his hands. It became a huge internet meme which has stayed with us to this day. In 2008, Steve slightly altered the meme by changing it up to "web developers," which proved that he was aware of the comical nature of the whole thing.
