Yes, I Got A Response From Ballmer

Next time I see him, I'm gonna go right up and say 'Hey Steve...Chris. Chris Rue. We've exchanged e-mails.' No matter if he's behind a curtain, cordoned off my security. I'm rollin right back there...cuz we're tight like that.

During his talk at MVP Summit last week, after he stressed the importance of communication and responsiveness from Microsoft employees to their customers…

You think I was gonna pass up the chance to send Steve Ballmer an e-mail?

Heck, I typed it on my trusty Treo 750 and fired it off before he had even left the stage.

Yes, I tried to make it relevant. Yes, it was constructive…altho blunt. Yes, it was in earnest.

And yes, I did get a response. Not 1, but 2 whole sentences.

People tell me…that’s a big deal.

In the immortal words of Carl Spackler…

So, I got that going for me. Which is nice.

  1. Chris,

    I watched his MIX08 ‘interview’ with Guy Kawasaki. He gave out his email address. I sent steveb an email a few days later and I got a one sentence reply from him the next day.

    I was impressed…
