When Mark Lucovsky told Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer that he was resigning it was reported that the Microsoft CEO went ballistic.  “Just tell me it’s not Google,” said Ballmer.

When Lucovsky told Ballmer it was Google, the Microsoft CEO threw a chair across the room and uttered the following: “[expletive] Eric Schmidt is a [expletive] [expletive]. I’m going to [expletive] bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to [expletive] kill Google.”

Before working at Microsoft and DEC, Lucovsky received a bachelor’s in computer science at the California Polytechnic State University.
