I would really like insider insight on the last years of Steve Ballmer. A lot of the good things Microsoft is doing started under his last few years. Whether he deserves credit or not, is another story. I know Scott Guthrie gets a ton of credit from a lot of people for turning the company around, especially with Azure & Open Source.
I'm also curious what really happened with the Nokia debacle. Microsoft had some die hard phone fans & many people wish they could have one that ran Android apps but with the MS Phone UI so they could have the best of all worlds.
- vtesucks 8y agoSurface is Ballmer 3x revenue is ballmer He quit because gates opposed Nokia deal Cloud is essentially Ballmer too
- Delmania 8y agoThese are the key points that people should read. Ballmer is constantly criticized, yet under his watch, revenue and net income doubled. The release of the Surface, Azure, and o365 also started under his watch. Natya was a great choice to take the reins, but the people who think Ballmer was terrible only paid attention to his poor PR and stock prices. The man knew how to make money.
