Pictures have surfaced, pun intended, about what computer Steve Ballmer uses for his presentations. Eh hem, a MacBook Pro. As I have mentioned a few times, Microsoft often uses Macs for presentations since they are very stable and basically just work.

The Democratic National Convention Committe has chosen Microsoft as its official provider of tech. This is a big deal since Adobe and its Flash and Flex technology was also vying for this spot.
