Yeah, that's one of those memorable moments.
Here's another one, the chair throw incident:
"At some point in the conversation Mr. Ballmer said: "Just tell me it's not Google." I told him it was Google. At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: "Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Google."" [1]
If you scroll up on there, you can read how very wrong he was on the iPhone, Linux, and FOSS.
