There’s some open speculation on whether Steve Ballmer should be sent packing from Microsoft. I couldn’t agree more with the sentiments. What with choosing NOT to listen to their customers on XP end-of-life, overpricing the heck out of a crippled O/S, re-doing the interface on their flagship product (Office) and not allowing people to stick with the familiar U/I, and most recently screwing up royally on the Yahoo deal, I’m surprised he’s survived this long.

I hope Ozzie takes over – he’s a tech guy, at least.

Hrm… has Microsoft done ANYTHING worthwhile besides provide laughing stock material since Ballmer took over? Google is very good, but their image is certainly elevated in comparison to M$.

*edit: a friend of mine described Microsoft’s actions over the last few years as a "Failure Spree". I like it – thanks, Brian!
