Microsoft chief defies pundits by hanging on - we reveal how
Those who upgraded to Windows 8 aren't the only ones unhappy with the
new touch-driven operating system - Wall Street is too. Just don't
expect any of the criticism hurled at Steve "Teflon" Ballmer,
Microsoft's shy and retiring boss, to stick.
The chief executive is under fire from money men who responded to tech
reporters trolling the markets for blistering opinions on Microsoft's
leadership, given that: PC sales are crashing; Windows Phone 8
smartmobes are in fourth place in the US mobile OS market; and Windows
8 Surface gadgets are barely on the worldwide tablet sales charts. The
new touchscreen-friendly Windows has not been that well received,
resulting the software giant undoing decisions made at the highest
levels.

bullshit.

Canonical controlling Ubuntu, RedHat controlling RedHat, etc.
