Excellent NY Times story (4 pages) on Microsoft from a new days back. Ballmer's future may be on the line.

Posted by Mop (230 lbs) (aka rburriel) Oct 22 '09, 15:06

I choose to believe that the New York Times read my post about how Ballmer should be fired and then did their own research. Ballmer seems increasingly arrogant and out of touch. Microsoft is no longer a trend setter and market leader and finds itself all too often playing follow the leader and falling short. I wonder if Ray Ozzie would make a better chief executive. I wonder, really, if there's anyone out there who can save this foundering ship.

Example of Microsoft's failure to innovate: No built-in Blu-ray for Xbox. Instead, look for an accessory. - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:14 1
- it wouldn't be pretty if they started selling it built in and couldn't use it for games - stewie Oct 22, 15:22
wll MS has not i my experience been a Trend setter ever but's it's still THE market leader - Danedukenuuk Oct 22, 15:09 2
- Fair enough. Their every success has been a rip off of something else (DOS, Windows, Office, IE, Xbox...) -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:11 1
  - exactly they either "steal" it or buy it...but they market it better then anyone else - Danedukenuuk Oct 22, 15:14
