Stories about Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer’s angry attitude towards Google are circulating the web.  Not only is he frustrated by his employees leaving to work for Google, he’s downright pissed off.

News.com has an interesting story with some of the details.

"At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office," Lucovosky recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google." Schmidt previously worked for Sun Microsystems and was the CEO of Novell.

No doubt, Google is shaping up to be a very powerful company.  Yet, history shows that when Microsoft sets its sights on a major competitor, they usually prevail.  With this type of rage fueling the company, it’ll be interesting to see if the competition grows fiercer, or more reckless.  It is doubtful that any CEO trying to compete with Microsoft would welcome the full fury of Ballmer and his company.
