There is no pleasing some. Seems like it doesn't matter what is said about MS. You guys just tear it down and call it a disaster. Good luck to him. Let's hope he brings things back on track.

I should become CEO............. only problem is I ability to do the job. but not talk it. other words I would have to have a person talk for me. speech impediment problems. but people understand me most of the time. and my skills for running things are great

Under Ballmer's tenure as CEO, Microsoft's annual revenue has surged from $25 billion to $70 billion, while its net income has increased 215 percent to $23 billion, and its gross profit of 75 cents on every dollar in sales is double that of Google. He had his loss with acquisitions and the surface tablet, so that is why he stepped down, yet, he made more money for MS than loss. So who ever states that Ballmer wasn't a good CEO needs to wake up and watch reality.

Microsoft has always had an issue with what it wants users to do with its software, what the software can do, what it can't do and what we want it to do. My comment was specifically about windows and office, and the xbox - these to me are classic examples of Microsoft causing a conflict with its target audience.
