Steve Ballmer should retire?


From time to time this matter back to the discussion table. Steve Ballmer is in charge of Microsoft makes 11 years, during which Microsoft's actions did not fall. In addition, the company is accused of failing to innovate as before, putting bad products on the market (moot point, with the exception of Windows Millennium and Vista) and still use your opinion to the dominant advantage in new markets.


For this and a little more, David Einhorn, manager of a hedge fund that owns 0.11% of Microsoft - believe me, it is enough - he said publicly that it's time for Steve Ballmer to sign his resignation letter and make good Caribbean vacation (this is on my own).

"His continued presence [Steve Ballmer] is the biggest weight on the shares of Microsoft, " Einhorn said in a conference, according to the Epicenter.

Ryan Block, Internet entrepreneur who has in its curriculum the foundation of Engadget, gave his two cents. He said that Microsoft "forgot how to do more with less. " For completeness, Block argues that Bill Gates go back to the rank of company commander, because Gates has a "killer instinct that has made Microsoft the undeniable champion of the first wave of personal computing. "
