Tossing out Ballmer has greatly improved things, but it's hard still hard to ever trust them.
Maybe when Ballmer is dead and buried.

That is totally uncalled for.
Wonder if this is a regional sort of thing? This reads like a pretty harmless colloquial saying to me, not anything inappropriate.
Lol. Balmer personally got involved with all M&A activities over $2m, which is why MS lost out on many deals... m&a and investing are themselves lifestyle business models because there are a very small number of people with the exceptional experience and good judgement about businesses and they have limited time to evaluate prospects. If VC and angel investing were scalable, it would be possible to have a few shops monopolize deals to a far greater degree and they would do tons of deals. But they can’t because of the support and other resources also provided from good VC shops.
The use of a common idiom is uncalled for? Over my dead body!
It's common when it's my (the speaker's) dead body, not someone else's body, particularly when you refer to them by name.

How often have you seen that idiom after some person's name?
