Yes we all agree, Ballmer said something stupid. And we then think "he is stupid".
Maybe not.
What's the goal of this Ballmer speech? Obviously, it's been said here, that's not to get Apple fans back to ms-windows.
I think the goal is to keep on ms-windows those who have no clue at what really is Mac OS X. microsoft users hear 2 things:
1. Apple is growing, nice, hype, etc. but costs more, hence it must be better than windows!
2. now they have the REAL reason from Ballmer: that's just to get a nice logo. Great, they can stick to windows and stop worrying about that.

The audience target is not Apple fans, but microsoft users. Ballmer knows he is wrong. But the goal is to fool and keep ms-windows users.
