For those of you unaware, Microsoft and Apple have feuded for years. As a person with heavy Microsoft ties, Ballmer has instituted a new no-Apple policy

From Reuters:

"It should come as no surprise, then, that the Clippers will be a Microsoft organization. The son of a Ford Motor Co manager, he’s always been a company and product loyalist, banning his own family from using Apple’s iPhones.“Most of the Clippers on are [sic] Windows, some of the players and coaches are not,” Ballmer said.“And Doc kind of knows that’s a project. It’s one of the first things he said to me: ‘We are probably going to get rid of these iPads, aren’t we?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, we probably are.’ But I promised we would do it during the off season.”"

So no more iPhones or iPads at the Clippers organization. Maybe for their personal use, but not for company use. That is unless Ballmer wants to replace all their personal devices as well, but would that include Beats by Dre headphones too? Apple did just buy that as well.
