They have held their PC market share in tact so regardless how much the market has grown they have gone with it. Pretty hard to push past 80+ % share.

- houseabsolute 16y agoThe important thing from my standpoint as an investor is that the CEO "show me the money." Whether that's in terms of profits distributed as dividends, or as a growth in the value of my equity, it doesn't matter, but it has to happen some way. If it doesn't, I'm pretty disappointed. How much value has Ballmer created for his shareholders over the past ten years? Does it compare well to other companies with stable market shares in their primary line of business? These are the questions that interest me, not merely whether he's been able to maintain a market share status quo. That's the baseline of competency, not a sign of success.
