- streak, on 10/10/2007, -2/+62To fully appreciate the creativity and effort that went into the modified version, here's the original video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc4MzqBFxZE
When it first appeared a few years ago, it may have been The Register that described the video as Steve Ballmer's screen test for the remake of "Planet of the Apes". :-))) - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+43cocaines a hell of a drug
- insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -20/+56Direct link to bypass spam, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/01/ballmer_dances/
- iamlutheran, on 10/10/2007, -4/+39Will I be able to dance like that if I buy a Microsoft Zune?
- ElbridgeGerry, on 10/10/2007, -4/+31SPOILER:
Fake Steve is Daniel Lyons, Forbes.com editor!

(And he kills Dumbledore.) - underdog5004, on 10/10/2007, -2/+29The BSOD at the end with looping sound was the best part, imho.
- bobcrotch, on 10/10/2007, -13/+39Buried as blog spam, can't you just link to theregister? Jesus.
- ThreeDee912, on 10/10/2007, -4/+29Developers, Developers, Developers!
- Twister47, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26That might have been the scariest thing I've ever seen.
- atdigg, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24does Zune come with the monkey too?
- thisissami, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22my new motto/favorite phrase is: "I!!!! LOVE!!! THIS!!! COMPANY!!! YEEEAAAHAHAEHEAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!11!!11!!!!!"
man that guy sounds like he hasn't hit puberty yet!! - Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19No but you will be able to Squirt!
- jasonwea, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20I love the ending. How nostalgic.
I don't think I can count the number of times I've had the sound of a repeated hardware buffer playing through my speakers. It always seems to be louder than whatever it was you were playing too. - ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20Woooooooooooooooo!!!!
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Whoa wait.. are you telling me there are diggers here who haven't seen that video yet? Hard to believe..
- AirRaven, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Thou shalt not mock the chair-thrower if thou wish to keep thine job.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I almost know every detail of the new Harry Potter book without even reading it. Thanks again digg!
PS: I'm not that interested in the harry potter story but it is an example of how digg could ruin you an story/movie. - Reno582, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Steve Ballmer, worst cheerleader ever...
- Darcy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14The portable MP3 player was a truly great Apple invention, only they could have thought of something so innovative.
- uselessexpert, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12AWESOME! Just awesome... Steve Ballmer is just too freaking goofy, and the commercial just magnifies it...
Hope the guy who made it found another job... - bitcloud, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11The register hasn't got any less right to the video than fakesteve...
- thisissami, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11maybe peter moore made this video? maybe that's why he got kicked out of microsoft and went to EA!
- noisebleed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Don't worry about it... you can never have too many "developers developers developers" jokes.
- thisissami, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12:D HAHAHA!! THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!!! i lovez it!!! i never knew somebody so high up in such a big company would ever let themselves be free!
- diggsIt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Just some of his patented dance moves.
- williamdyer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9And Ballmer, who is NOT a "nerd" but a coked-up MBA, jumping and sweating and shouting is not "creepy?"
- fishrjv, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8the ending is fantastic
- lopla, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10A gentle reminder to never do 10lines of coke before taking the stage..
- carleethian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6this guy is a ***** toolbox
- osc1882, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Best video ever... oh and Balmer scares the living ***** out of me.
- tyywebb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMU0tzLwhbE
- saggygrandma, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6um the blue screen of death pretty much gave that away sherlock, you dumb *****, its not said to be from the advertising department of microsoft anyway, just one of the employees having a laugh.... you retarded goddam dumb *****.
- cgomez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Fake Steve is not blogspam.
- psykiv, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That video was digitally enhanced using (a pirated copy of) Adobe® Premiere® Pro® CS3® Video Editing Software, a component of the Adobe® Creative Suite® C3® Master Collection® software suite..
Had to be said. - duggtodeath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4williamdyer, don't feed the troll, B1663r is a certified troll. He made sure to respond to the last half-dozen comments as if he is actually Ballmer himself. Just walk away, bro...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7No ***** professor, how long did it take you to figure that out.
- k3nshady89, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Direct link to video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIk4qTKmKzE - Magistrate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Although it should be in the video section, I'll digg it anyway because it was absolutely terrible and awesome at the same time!
- Lavarock, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3>>Ballmer's tendency to loudly and enthusiastically express himself is well known. A famous 1991 incident left his vocal cords requiring surgical repair after he screamed "Windows, Windows, Windows" continuously during a meeting in Japan.[2] With the advent of Internet video, such incidents have become increasingly infamous.
- streak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Squirt(TM)
- tommasz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'd give it a 45, good tune but I couldn't dance to it.
- Phyltre, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The only thing that causes that effect on my system is the Source engine from Steam. Every join game or load error becomes a rave.
- whiteyMcBrown, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Where the ***** did that come from? Ballmer was the the dancing around like a gorilla... and it's friggin' hilarious that someone made an iPod-(ish) commercial out of it. Get a sense of humour. For the record, the Zune is fine.. Feel better, little guy?
- chrisutley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yes, I'm sure a Microsoft employee made this and was fired for it. You can say just about anything these days, and people will pass it around as fact on the Internet.
- chuckpenzone, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Oh my! I have never seen this video before and I have a couple general comments. First - how can he be that winded after dancing for like 45 seconds and second could somebody who is good with audio and video please make some sort of ballmer / howard dean semi-retarded scream off. Please - I'd even consider paying for it.
- jasonpoon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3So sad that Microsoft fired that guy, Microsoft needs this kind of talent.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4***** Hilarious.
- extremus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hmm... Balmer is very ape like...
- AhmedB, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Very original monkey dance, kudos to the guy who did the editing and picked the song :)
Very original production! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3This one is even funnier
