What question would you like to ask Steve Ballmer? (Part II)
This has been interesting.
At the very end of last week, I put out a call for questions to ask Steve Ballmer this week on the eve of the Windows 7 launch. Encouraged to note that I ended up with a really good selection of questions, as well as an entertaining handful of obscene, scatological, ribald or just generally cheeky ones (as expected).
I've arbitrarily chosen a small handful of the best questions, tweaked the wording slightly, where needed (mainly just editing for length), and created a mini Twitter poll to help pick the final question.
The candidate questions are:
Voting closes at 07:00 Eastern Time tomorrow morning, October 20th.
The question with the most votes will be included in a special one-on-one interview with Mr. Ballmer himself later this week. (No, I'm not doing the interview myself - this is a kind of proxy interviewing thing).
BTW - if, on reading the questions, you think you could come up with something even better, feel free to email or leave me a comment here. Who knows...

The candidate questions are:
- Many felt the Vista launch was not your finest marketing moment. Have you made a conscious effort to market Win7 differently?
- What is the primary goal for Win7 - where does this OS fit in Microsoft's overall strategy?
- Which features in Win7 will best combat the Mac OS and which features go way beyond your competition?
- The transition from XP to Vista was a very steep learning curve for the average user. Will the shift to Win7 be as big?
