Steve Ballmer is at least willing to speak with the open-source crowd now, as his comments at Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2008 demonstrate. He’s just not willing to actually engage in open source as an appreciable part of his company’s business. Fair enough.

Ballmer lacks the imagination to conceive of a world where Microsoft could open-source code and still make a lot of money (He’s apparently not heard of “Google.”):

No. 1, are our products prone to be open-sourced? No. We do provide our source code in special situations, but open source also implies free, free is inconsistent with paying for lunches at the partner conference. (Applause.)

But at least he’s willing to work with those who do grok that the future of software business (meaning: money) is open source:

Will we interoperate with products that come from like Linux, from the open-source world? Yes, we will. Will we encourage people who want to do open-source development to do it on top of Windows? Yes, we’re proud that the best PHP system in the world is actually the one that runs on Windows today, not the one that runs on Linux.

In a clear sign that Steve Ballmer has lost touch with reality, at a current partner event Q&A the Microsoft CEO addressed the issue of “coolness” and how Microsoft competes in coolness.

On one hand, Ballmer recognizes that Microsoft isn’t cool and that the enterprise buyer wants safety, not necessarily coolness. But on the other hand his comments reveal an earnest desire to be cool…yet he clearly doesn’t recognize what will get his company there.

The way we [will] be newsworthy, if we’re successful, in and out, every day, all the time for the next 10, 20, 30 years, we’re not going to make it on, hey they’re brand new, we’ve never seen them before. We’re going to have to surprise people. And I think we’ll. I think we’ll surprise people with the quality of new Computers people see, where we’ve worked really hard with Vista, and people say, wow, these things are actually lighter, they actually have better battery life, they’re cheaper, they’re more affordable, they’re more flexible, they come in more sizes, wow, that’s cool.

As is often the case with “news,” the most interesting story is in the subtext. As an example, DimDim, the open-source web conferencing company, just raised $6 million in a Series B round of financing. That’s great news for DimDim, but it’s not the most important news. (Though …
