Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer dismissed Dropbox today, while pumping the company's own SkyDrive cloud service.
The exec called Dropbox a "fine little startup" but claimed that its 100 million users are really "a pretty small number" compared to the amount of Office, SkyDrive and Hotmail/Live users.
Ballmer says the company's next goal is to move past 1 billion Office users despite the big time push from rivals like Google Apps.
Microsoft recently launched Office 365, a subscription version of Office, allowing customers to pay annual or monthly fees and not have to buy the software upfront.
The CEO also took a shot at the iPad (at least for time being), saying the company is not worried about any tablet that does not offer Office. Office for iPad and Android is expected later this year.
