Oops! Five CEOs Who Should Have Already Been Fired (Cisco, GE, WalMart, Sears, Microsoft) - Forbes
Without a doubt, Mr. Ballmer is the worst CEO of a large publicly traded American company today. Not only has he singlehandedly steered Microsoft out of some of the fastest growing and most lucrative tech markets (mobile music, handsets and tablets) but in the process he has sacrificed the growth and profits of not only his company but “ecosystem” companies such as Dell, Hewlett Packard and even Nokia.

Pëll Dalipi Weird, I always hear that companies should focus on what they're good at. Was Microsoft good at mobile music and handsets? Sure it was risky of them to go out of these markets, but wasn't Microsoft always criticized for doing too much at the same time? And what about Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7? These were products that got a lot of positive feedback. What about the Microsoft Stores that are being opened? Furthermore I don't see why Microsoft needs to care about Dell, HP and Nokia.
