Investors, "forced" Microsoft CEO resigns

A fund manager has very powerful attention at Microsoft's shareholders meeting held yesterday in calling for the company CEO, Steve Ballmer, resigned from his position now.
 David Einhorn, Director GREENLIGHT Capital investment fund said that "The presence of Ballmer will be the biggest threat to Microsoft's stock, " and insisted "it's time to give chance to power for another person. "
nine million shares of Microsoft (or 0.11% of shares outstanding in the market), this CEO David critics are wasting time and money on acquisitions and mergers too hastily gold. Mr Ballmer also criticized as short-term vision in the management of important areas such as smart phones, tablet PCs and entertainment devices multimedia handsets.
David has cited his previous statement Ballmer on iPhone and iPod. This CEO had said that the Apple product is not a threat to Microsoft. A famous statement of Mr. Ballmer "not allow their children to use the products of rivals such as Google search" David is also repeated on this occasion. Investors emphasizes the smell of the conservative stance that made ​​Ballmer and Microsoft are "stuck in the past" and the David Bing tools such as "death pit" of U.S. technology giants.
Since taking the position of Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer has become the focus of much debate. Speech habits "and mouth", without thinking of the leaders makes Microsoft's PR department must be very hard to correct and control the situation. New this week, Microsoft made ​​a back Steve phen "salt in" faux pas for the disclosure of false information about the time ofof release , as well as the official name for Windows 8 .
I must say that Microsoft has not proved to be wise and quick in the mobile sector. Phone launches Windows platform too late, creating conditions for Android and IOS have more time to consolidate its position. Meanwhile, the cooperation agreement with Nokia will be the only real "flower" in 2012. Windows 7 appears incompatible with the tablet product. And finally, the Zune, Microsoft's music player line following a hard time fighting was forced to "go" permanent force of the Apple iPod.
