Microsoft’s CEO Ballmer Predicts Demise of Print Within 10 Years

Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Mcrosoft, has created a bit of a firestorm over at the Washington Post. His contention that print will be dead within a decade has stirred quite a debate.

Writers and publishers can take some solace in the ongoing poll, which as I write this, is running about 4 to 1 in favor of print’s survival.

You can see a video of Ballmer’s remarks and follow the debate at TechCrunch, who has just reported the episode.
