STEVE BALLMER, the Vole's whirling, sweat-machine monkey-boy CEO, seems to have struck out in Munich. That is the third-largest cityscape in Germany, gentle readers. As such, it's a major loss for Microsoft.The story goes that Ballmer interrupted his skiing vacation to drop into Munich and offer them a 90% discount on Microsoft's software, countering that city's Linux and Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) procurement. It would seem that Ballmer's "generous" offer will not be successful.
