Hard to succeed Bill Gates. CEO of Microsoft since 2000, Steve Ballmer will pass the hand within a year. Its balance sheet is contrast: on one side, the annual profit of the company tripled over 10 years, from 20 to 60 billion dollars, thanks to a good performance on the business side. on the other, the share price of the action remained inert while those of Google and Apple were multiplied by 7 and 40. And if Microsoft is successful entering the entertainment with Xbox, he badly negotiated the public shift in computing (mobile, tactile and social). What does retain its 30 years at Microsoft? Selection in videos.
Windows 1.0
Ballmer was the yang to the yin of Bill Gates. Recruited in 1980 by Microsoft, he plays the brimming VRP of enthusiasm for selling Windows 1.0.
An unparalleled fan boy energy
Steve Ballmer was able to fire as a person, jumping and screaming "I love this company" if necessary. It is after this number it will be nicknamed "Monkey Boy".
A type that wets the Jersey
In the proper sense. Here, he woos Windows developers. Pity that he did not spend the same energy for Windows Phone, whose lack of apps remains the number one problem.
Windows XP refuses to die
The success of Windows XP has caused problems for Microsoft. After the flop of Vista, it was only in August 2012 Windows 7 surpassed XP OS PC market share to 42.5%.
The cord with the not completely cut off father
In this humorous clip, Steve Ballmer dances with Bill Gates while singing "What is love". If Ballmer became CEO of Microsoft in 2000, is that in 2007 that Bill Gates really hung up to devote himself to his Foundation.
