Default Re: Ladies and Gentlemen, Bill Gates Has Left the Building

Bill Gates will always be an unfilled-void, Steve Jobs will be an unfilled-void. But that does not mean that the company will go bankrupt and shut shop in 5 years. MS is way too big to be a one man show anyways. It is a huge company with it's hands in a lot of fields. Medicines, space everything. Windows is no more the only source of income. It is the flag ship product but not the only product.

BTW, that is one horrendous tie.

One of Reuters article has a perfect paragraph that sums up Bill Gates & Steve Ballmer's duo:

"Gates is such a serious, plodding, methodical guy and Ballmer knew that to be part of the dynamic duo with Bill, he needed to be the opposite."
