Great points, Apple continued to grow during Steve Job's cancer treatment. The only thing that got depressed was their stock price and I don't consider that to be a strong indicator of success in a company (unless it is extremely low or high)
Ballmer is crazy and only got the CEO job because he was college buddies with Bill Gates, but just because MSFT is failing at phones and bing does not mean he is a bad CEO. He has helped the MSFT cash cows (Office/Windows) increase in revenue and profits. MSFT is losing phones but they are winning with their enterprise/desktop software products. Even Xbox is starting to show some success with their xbox live service.
