Steve Ballmer on why developing countries don't need cheap PCs

Steve Ballmer's got an interesting argument on why developing countries like India, China, Russia and Brazil don't need sub-300 dollar PCs. And that they won't mind paying $600 for a PC. Quite honestly, I'm tempted to say buzz off. Do you even know what you're talking about? Have you travelled into the hinterland? But come to think of it. Maybe, I'm the idiot. I don't run a company that's sitting on $32-fuckin'-billion dollars of cash reserves. Just cash reserves!!!! That's almost half the forex reserves India holds. Precisely the reason why it makes sense to listen to Ballmer talk. The story's here on Always-On Network.
