Investor and Employees are not the same thing you fool... if you're going to dump millions of dollars into the company, you better like the leadership/management.

It's so sad... MS does all the boring stuff, and like a snake, they twist the OEM's arms to not only win the WIndows business, but also MS Office, and IE....and they still can't win.

Meanwhile, beleaguered Apple makes fun cool products that people line up for for days, and have surpassed MS in market cap... ever since Bill Gates left the scene...

No wonder Ballmer's in tears. He was never in the same league as Jobs.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/steve-ballmer-feeling-pressure-at-microsoft-for-stagnating-share/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/steve-ballmer-feeling-pressure-at-microsoft-for-stagnating-share/

Consumers don't care about Microsoft - that's why investors aren't valuing MSFT higher. They've peaked with enterprise and consumer computers, but have no growth in other areas like mobile and search. They'll continue to print money with Windows and Office, but steady income doesn't grow a stock - growth potential does. That's why Apple is skyrocketing, because despite all their success, they still only have 6-7% market share of PCs and 2% cellphones. Plenty of room, and plenty of momentum. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/steve-ballmer-feeling-pressure-at-microsoft-for-stagnating-share/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/steve-ballmer-feeling-pressure-at-microsoft-for-stagnating-share/
