Ballmer is a classic example of some Bozo promoted above his
abilities. Seen dozens of his kind in my career. He's loud,
shamelessly disrespecting of customer concerns, won't listen.
Probably surrounds himself with "yes" men, blames everybody else when
things go wrong. Likely blames his hardware partners for everything
wrong with Vista. Still doesn't understand how he could have messed up
the Yahoo deal. A real prize Stevie is, a real prize.

You know I cut through bull**** like a hot knife through butter, so
maybe you would be surprised to learn that since old Stevie became CEO
in 2000, Microsoft's stock has lost roughly half it's value with it
going sideways the last 5-6 years meaning if you held nearly any other
technology stock you would have done way better. For example Apple. It
was trading at sub $30 in 2000 when Stevie took the reins of
Microsoft. Last Friday Apple's stock closed at $188.75

For such a "performance" ie blowing a easy deal with Yahoo, flat stock
performance for half a decade and dumping Vista on the market before
it was ready Stevie gets about a million dollars in annual salary,
plus very generous stock options. His current net worth is roughly 15
billion.

Instead of me referring to you as a fanboy, maybe I should switch to
just plain dumb boy because you really don't know how bad things are
for the boys of Redmond.
