I don't know if I would go so far as to say that he looks "ill at ease" in this little video. He did look about as stiff as someone can, and not actually be under the mind control of some alien invader.

At lot of things about that video got my hackles up. The softball questions, for one. The obviously rehearsed answers, and Ballmer's bored-to-the-point-of-zombification for another. Of course, the total re-spin of every question would make anyone mad. But the worst thing was the little curl of Nerd-Hair in the upper right corner of the frame. Together with the short-sleeve and the awkward hand gestures, one could safely tag the interviewer as a Microsoft Programmer.
