  Nope. Ballmer is and always will be the all time king R. He’s the dude that had MS pilot away from handheld devices because nobody will ever use cell phones. This was when MS was the only credible mobile OS.

    Glad I covered my tracks with a well placed ‘might’ lol.

    I forgot about that idiot and would love to go back to forgetting them.

    Though not a CEO, I’d say Don Mattrick made even dumber decisions than Ballmer. Flat out telling the military if they can’t use the new always online console they can use the last gen console or get fucked was… a choice.

      Hard to put a stupid offhand remark on the same level as a man that handed mobile computing to Apple and Samsung.

        It wasn’t just the one offhand comment. His entire attitude was “always online and a mandatory camera attached to your device are just how it is, loaning games is gone forever, and you’re stupid for even questioning any of it.” His decisions singlehandedly tanked the popularity of the Xbox brand so hard they’re still feeling the effects one whole console generation later.

    Bring back Balmer!

    If he’d just try a little harder, maybe we can be rid of M$ entirely.

  Stiff competition, that. This guy is just playing it safe, saying what his bosses want to hear.
