"Oook! - more Steve Ballmer madness"

Hopefully, a few of you will remember the news story we did last Summer about Microsoft President Steve Ballmer. For those of you that missed the original:
http://special.reserve.co.uk/news/story.php?id=1083

Soon after, we got another video of Ballmer breaking into a speech to repeat the words "Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers" like some crazed sweaty loon. Me and Snuggles became addicted to the cult of Ballmer and haven't stopped laughing since.

But now some evil genius out there has taken the obsession to the next stage and created 'Ballmerfunk', possibly the funniest music video ever. So for all 'monkey boy' fans out there, here's a real treat:

Things noticed so far :-

1. Altered the date format from DD/MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY
2. Turned off anti-virus
3. Turned off Windows Defender
4. It reset all security settings, so remote mapped drives which were previously accessible in programs all of a sudden reverted to not being visible.
5. Mapped drives that are visible seem to be mapped wrongly. You need to disconnect and reconnect. In our case our Q: drive is mapped to \Mercurypublic and this had changed to \Mercury
6. If you automatically logged on to Windows 7 then it removes your password in 10 and you have to go into CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 and put it back.

Will add anything else noticed.

All there. :D

I can't believe I just watched all of that. I had the original and that video is class :-)

So, anyone got the lyrics?

There is hope....

Absolutely bloody brilliant.

Made by a Mac man.

Excellent stuff.

I just watched that bit, it was fantastic, i was in stitches.

The original video I watched was kinda crap quality. Nothing to you guys, it's just my computer can't stream, at all.

So no, unfortunatly.

And by the way, if you were wondering what the lyrics were to that fantastic song, they're available here:

Have you noticed the bit in the original video where he gets to the centre of the stage and twists his ankle? He makes a fantastic noise, a little tortured yelp, then just carries on screaming as if nothing happened. The guy's got class.

Just noticed as well, how Ballmer nearly falls off the stage on the right hand side when he dances around.

Fan-tas-tic.

I've got four words for you.

Developers, developers, developers, developers.
