Forbes Names Microsoft's Steve Ballmer Worst CEO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the best-aim-though dept.

New submitter _0x783czar writes "Microsoft haters gleefully have latched on to the latest scoop that a Forbes columnist has named Steve Ballmer the worst CEO. It seems that the article has leveled some strong accusations of irresponsible and ineffective business practices; claiming that Microsoft has not progressed over the last 12 years of Ballmer's leadership. (Full disclosure: I'm not a Microsoft fan myself and tend to agree with this piece.)"

    I can now stand the thought of using Windows and Internet Explorer. Not that I do use IE, mind you... just that I wouldn't Hulk up and fling my captor through 3 or 4 cement brick walls to create an escape route.

    I think he is the best thing ever for the company, and they need to keep him on for the next 50 years. Windows Phone is flying off the shelves and outselling iPhone and Android phones combined!

    As a FOSS guy, I think Microsoft is doing a stellar job and needs to continue under this mans direction.

    As much as my comment history shows a clear anti-MS stance, I agree. Possibly Ballmer wasn't evil enough.

    And definitely, his chairs missed too many targets.
