Ballmer Turns To Geeks For Salvation

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday February 8, 2011 @06:10AM from the good-luck-with-that dept.

jfruhlinger writes "One of the critiques of Steve Ballmer as Microsoft CEO is that, as someone who came up through sales, he doesn't really get what running an innovative tech company is about. With the company board starting to question his performance — he didn't get his bonus last year because of the Kin debacle, for instance — it appears that Ballmer is planning to install engineers in high places to turn the company around."

A CEO performed badly and *didn't* get a bonus? What kinda crazy topsy-turvy world do we live in now?
