IF MS were as successful as Google and Apple in their respective markets I know were MS would be... they would be split.

Seriously, you can't expect one company to rule the entire tech-industry for hardware, software and online solutions. So I think Ballmer did a pretty good job with the .NET framework, the Xbox, Windows, Azure, SQL-Servers etc.

Weird mentality. If a company has such a commanding position in computer software and services with their Windows products I certainly do expect them to be capable of making a successful phone OS, online services or content delivery for those platforms.
