The Washington Post writes, "Chief Executive Steve Ballmer will have to shop around for an Xbox 360 game console this holiday season just like the rest of us -- it doesn't come with his job."
Ballmer may have to shop around for an Xbox, but I can assure you that he will not be doing it like the rest of us with his billions of dollars. Ballmer can easily have an Xbox 360 delivered to his front door by offering $10,000. What's $10,000 to Ballmer when he has billions of dollars?
Nope, Ballmer will not be hunting down a Xbox 360 by hopping from store to store nor by waiting in crazy long lines for hours and hours like common folks of the real world.
If I had billions of dollars, I would simply fly over 10 underpaid workers from China in my gold plated 747 jet and have them build an Xbox 360 in my dungeon with heated tiles.
