MS gets a break - Ballmer finally leaving

»apnews.myway.com//articl ··· FG1.html

Maybe MS can finally get in to the internet age and stop living and dying on the old Wintel platform.

The news of his leaving drove the MSFT stock price up over 7% today.

He made over a billion $ by quitting, he should do it more often
Ballmer = great salesman, good manager, mediocre CEO.
without gates and ozzie there to push some future vision the company struggled.
Hopefully the next CEO rather than looking at they used to do well, can look forward to figure out what they NEED to do well next year, next decade, next century, and inspire the employees to do it.

I have heard many fear this is the future for Apple too since Jobs was their vision driver.

But it also does not help that they did not assault mobile harder, Due to every single major corporation using MS they had seriously good starting point to completely crush RIM and Blackberry and integrate winphones into a corporate ecosystem.
