When was Ballmer ever good for shareholders? Windows/Office was already a super profitable juggernaut, he misinvested every dime of their profits. Expedia/Zune/Windows Phone/Nokia/Original Surface, etc, etc, etc. Even the XBox was a money loser for its first decade. Tim Cook hasn’t incinerated shareholder funds. Most of the profits have been returned to shareholders as dividends, or saved overseas for them. His bad acquisitions have been relatively tiny, like Beats. And as far as competitiveness goes, the Mac market share is at all time highs, iphone sales are st all time highs, and iPad still dominates the tablet market. Plus their app store and apple music dominate as well. Oh and Apple watch is the biggest selling watch by revenues in history, both now and it’s launch year. Apple hasnt been wildly creative under Cook, but is still designing innovative new devices, Apple Watch, Airpods, the 5K iMac, HomePods, iMac Pro. Let’s just agree to ignore the touchbar macbooks;) He’s not Steve Jobs, but has done better than i ever thought possible.
