I desperately want Balmer to leave. He's a dinosaur.

MSFT is never going to move forward with the old guard around milking the enterprise space forever. They make too much money on Windows/back office products. They're fresh out of ideas, and the guys up top won't release the reigns enough for fresh blood to move things forward.

The fact that they call their device operating system 'Windows' shows that they don't understand their market. Why don't you just call it the Edsel?

Like Island said, they have had a tablet around for years. I used one for about 3 years, and it was great for its one purpose (giving technical presentations). But like so many products, they put it out there half baked, didn't give the hardware guys time to make it perfect, then screwed over their partners who had put $$$ R&D by abandoning it.
