Let's not get into random biased guesses of what's going to happen 5 years from now to diss the guy, k?]]>Jul 1st 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/
So how about we all give CXO a chance and see what he will bring gadget wise. OK, guyz?]]>Jul 1st 2008 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/
2. I actually think he's on the right track with the zune and the xbox. Even if they aren't the greatest success in the history of electronics, they're good devices and at least he's experimenting.

3. CXO probably stands for Chief eXtreme Officer.]]>Jul 1st 2008 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/
This guy is a pathetic wannabee...as if shaving his head and a black suit will give him (or Microsoft) some hipness.]]>Jul 1st 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/

Allard: "Um, I could shave my head and get an earring?"

Ballmer: "Go on..."

Allard: "Uh, and I could dress all in black like those dudes at Apple. And maybe I could legally change my name from James to J? The kids are really hip to meaningless abbreviations these days."

Ballmer: "Bingo. You're the man James."

Allard: "That's J, homeskillet."]]>Jul 1st 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/01/j-allard-cxo-surfaces-at-microsoft-c-level/
