Yahoo and Google already teamed up against them long ago. The only thing i like or use from microsoft is their operating system, but i hate everything else that they do.

That's an incredibly accurate word for him in fact. Some of the other posters here should try looking up the definition sometime. He makes a fool of himself, he's egotistical and selfish, not to mention stupid, and anyone who has watched him for long time will realize that he's diluted himself into thinking that his company and products are THE best and everyone is dumb for not using them. That pompousness is disgusting and offensive. He's not the only company leader like that, not by far, but on the subject of software, Microsoft *is* a big topic. They've abused customers and businesses for so long that they do very, very much deserve the negative criticism that comes their way. I just wish there were a lot more lawsuits against them.

But he must be there for some reason. He must have had some qualities that made him the CEO. Regarding microsoft, I have been using their products since Windows 95 came out. Vista sucks thats for sure. But XP is good. I do agree that the way Microsoft went after Netscape and Apple was in poor taste and I really dont like the monopoly they have/had. As for your Yahoo, Both Microsoft and Yahoo can never take on google. Matt,

Balmer has been nothing but poison for the company; although I believe M$'s problems started with policies from Bill himself. Greed can do funny things to people. --Greetings from a new Bluehost customer Robert: Your relentless hateful tirades against Matt are becoming sickening and BORING! Well said Matt.

Your relentless hateful tirades against Matt are becoming sickening and BORING!

I have my dislikes about Microsoft products. But all the negative things said about Microsoft, is there any alternative products that are less expensive as Microsoft products. Have you guys ever though why Microsoft became this popular its not because their product where the most user friendly or quality providing but their Marketing and making popular their products which provided them huge user base. Think before you shout. I am not a Microsoft fan. I have my dislikes about Microsoft products.

Also, since Gates has "removed" himself from much of the day-to-day activities of MS, Balmer has done what only he knows - we have the money, we'll buy out of competition. What MS does with Yahoo after an acquisition may be completely different than what the industry expects. However, I must say that, as an individual business person, Balmer sure 'lucked" into his job and rank and doesn't impress me and many others very much at all. He forgets to engage his brain often. There will be other interesting issues on the table now that Balmer is steering the boat. It would be interesting if Gates makes a grand entrance into MS again to steer a sinking ship. It must be dramatic. As regards Vista, Vista was to be a direct competing product with Linux, but MS caved in and went with all the music and movie industry pressures to put extra protection in the OPSYS thereby literally destroying Vista. What a shame. Even IBM realized some time ago that cosmetics and blinking lights (GUI) only sells so many customers. Those that want solid performance see past that. The movie has just started.
