"Ballmer's threat last November was recounted in a sworn declaration by
a former Microsoft engineer, Mark Lucovsky, who said he met with
Microsoft's chief executive 10 months ago to discuss his decision to
leave the company after six years.



After learning Lucovsky was leaving to take a job at Google, Ballmer
picked up his chair and hurled it across his office, according to the
declaration.



Ballmer then pejoratively berated Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Lucovsky
recalled.



"I'm going to f------ bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will
do it again," the declaration quotes Ballmer. "I'm going to f------
kill Google."
