Meanwhile... what happened to Microsoft once its charismatic founder left? Balmer's been a belly-full of fail year after year. Lately, he's especially impressively failing. About the only parts of the company that aren't failing are the parts he disliked so much he didn't want to talk or deal with them directly (XBox for example). I wonder, again, what losing Jobs will do now that Cook has proven himself to be not quite as charismatic as the founder?

I believe that was his last full day of work as a chairman or something. He however stepped down as CEO in the beginning of 2000 if I remember correctly. Check apple's growth during this period. Billy obviously wanted less involvement on day to day decision making. Heck Apple wouldn't even be around without Gates. Also let's look at apple's growth from 2008 to present.....stunning isn't it ?

That I can definitely agree with but Linus disappoints me.

Why should I vote for you? I'm already disappointed in your failure to successfully usurp role of CEO ahead of any kind of election.
