Bill Gates: "We need some way to defuse our image as an evil, faceless corporation full of pompous, arrogant, greedy dimwits who don't know how to write code. Any suggestions?"
Everybody: "..."
Bill Gates: "C'mon...whats hip and new and cutting edge that we can steal?"
Craig Mundie: "...um...um...The Matrix! The Lord of the Rings!"
Bill Gates: "...no LOTR. I don't want to be compared to a Hobbit."
Steve Ballmer: "Hey! Hey! Hey! This Matrix Idea has Legs!" (Begins bouncing up and down in his chair. Gets up and does the monkeyboy dance.)
Bill Gates: "All Right! Who Gave Steve Sugar! Somebody get me the tranquilizer dart gun!"
Craig Mundie: "Um...about this Matrix Thing..."
Bill Gates: "What about it..."
(*shoots Steve Ballmer with tranquilizer dart*)Steve Ballmer: "eeep!"
(*kerTHUD*)Craig Mundie: "Does this mean we all show up for Comdex dressed as Agent Smith?"
(*Gates stares at Mundie is appalled disbelief*)Craig Mundie: "I mean...thats how the world thinks of us...."
(*Gates becomes visibly enraged*)Craig Mundie: "...unless of course, we're supposed to be the giant robot bugs..."
(*Gates bellows with fury*)Bill Gates: "Remove this heretic from my sight!"

Just remember, they got the guy who does the voice of Bender in Futurama to play Steve Ballmer in
Pirates of the Silicon Valley.

and they got the kid who wore a bra on his head to play Bill Gates. (So that more than makes up for the coolness of hiring John DiMaggio.)

Ballmer looks like he's working it with his nipples a little bit up there.

(side note: the movie has nothing to do with either the Matrix or the spoof of the Matrix, it just there to remind everyone that Steve Ballmer is not "The One")

close tag, open tag, close tag, now go start a band.(to those who have just seen the little movie, now you know what the "Who Gave Steve Sugar!" comment means.)
