And if Ballmer murdered someone, that would have been harder to apologize for as well.

Nadella seems to be the worst CEO of Microsoft to date; he receive advance praise unjustified for earlier work that still Ballmer decided.

Clearly I'm being unfair, but I think I may not be alone in my aversion to the old Ballmer brands.

I am giving Microsoft some room for redemption for many mistakes made in the Ballmer era.

Compare the attitudes towards the criticisms of Steve Ballmer vs Ellen Pao.

I see no difference between that and Ballmer himself copying and pasting the code.

You can blame Ballmer for being a terrible CEO, but the blame really rests on the board for allowing him to make really big, really bad decisions.

I don't think he'd feel threatened by seeing an employee using one, the way Ballmer clearly is when he catches somebody with an iPod.

For all you know, Ballmer fought against it.

It would be a creative way to refer to Microsoft, specifically to Steve Ballmer who is rumored to have thrown a chair across the room after receiving some bad news.

>People loved Raymond Chen back when Steve Ballmer was CEO of Microsoft.

If management changed at Nokia to have tyrant managers who have to control and micromanage people that's basically what Steve Ballmer did at Microsoft and it was a disaster.

Because me and Steve Ballmer were correct." Matt Maroon and Ballmer were both Wrong.

How about "Even when Steve Ballmer was CEO of Microsoft, people still loved Raymond Chen"?

I have two additional reasons behind why Microsoft is "dead." Reason (5): Steve Ballmer took over from Bill Gates as CEO in Jan 2000.

It seems that most of the open source community still thinks they are "up to something" but I'm starting to believe that they are genuinely becoming a much better company than they were under Ballmer and Gates.

Ballmer feeling 'threatened' by the fact that an employee is using a non-Microsoft product?

The major difference (other than Ballmer's financial track record for Microsoft) is their genders.

Pao may or may not be an idiot in the same league as Fiorina, Apotheker, and - arguably - Whitman and Ballmer.
