Newsmaker: Ballmer: Here's why Microsoft is different | |

| Time: 08:09 EST/13:09 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: John Quigley | ||

Microsoft's chief executive officer later sat down with CNET News.com to explain that while Oracle and SAP might enjoy a more cordial relationship with the Fortune 500, Microsoft's ambition was to become the "grand consolidator of everything else." | ||
