Ballmer is by all accounts an incredibly bright and intensely competitive guy. But he's no Bill Gates. Gates was a software geek. He understood technology. Ballmer is a business guy. To Ballmer's credit, in his decade at the helm Microsoft's revenues have nearly tripled, from $23 billion to $58 billion.
... But the problem with putting nontechies in charge of tech companies is that they have blind spots. ... Since then the company has become bureaucratic and lumbering. Worse yet, as Microsoft slowed down, the rest of the world sped up....
This is perhaps why, in the 10 years of Ballmer's reign, Microsoft's stock has dropped by nearly 50 percent, from $55 to $29. (Apple shares have climbed 700 percent; Google has gone up 400 percent since its IPO in 2004.) ...it's been a pretty dismal 10 years. Unless the company can do more than focus on the past, the next decade might not be any better.
