SEATTLE: - Microsoft Corp Chief Executive Steve Ballmer took his farewell bow before thousands of applauding employees on Thursday with a typically loud and emotional performance at his last company-wide meeting, talking up the software giant's prospects and taking swipes at rivals.
The CEO, whose screeching and dancing at company events is the stuff of YouTube legend, stormed the stage to Can't Hold Us by Seattle rap/producer duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and kept up his usual high tempo, according to several people present at the employee-only meeting.
