The Ballmer Days Are Over

About a month before the launch of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft held an iPhone funeral procession in Redmond. This is not something a confident business does, this is something an arrogant business does — regardless of what company does something like this it is both childish and stupid.

That funeral alone should be a reason for CEO to step down. Especially when you look at such a hubris in a perspective of the last few months, when Windows Phone didn't make any relevant dent in the market.

You couldn't pay me to work for Ballmer - (37signals)

Ballmer has be running Microsoft for more than a decade now, but when you don’t hear from the guy directly for a while, it’s easy to get lulled into the belief that he’s probably running alright. Not.

Most importantly, Ballmer is missing Gates' innocent nerd look.
