No Free Xbox 360 for Ballmer

No Free Xbox 360 for Ballmer

FormFactor 8 Dec, 2005 at 2:37pm ET Article published in Tech

The Register is reporting that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer stated that he has to wait to buy an Xbox 360 just like everyone else.

Evidently due to restrictions set by the Sarbanes-Oxley act, Microsoft management will not be receiving any free Xbox 360s.

“The Ballmer children do not have their Xbox 360 yet. I’m in the same boat as many of you. Thanks to the wonders of Sarbanes-Oxley, management does not get a free Xbox 360.”

Howdy, Stranger!
