Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer dances at tearful send-off in front of 13,000 staff

Dance is what we loved Ballmer for!
...Hey, MS could celebrate him with a Kinect Ballmer dance game for XBOne! It would sell MILLIONS!

About business, he was a giant in some things, he screwed others, but Windows and Office are and always were, even before him, such cash cows that they make it very difficult to evaluate his skills as a CEO. He's a great accountant, but he hasn't the tech talent of Uncle Bill and his greed makes him sometimes suck at human relations with the employess (he had the face to cut benefits to MS employees, amongst the most productive in the world, to scrape some more profit). We also know for sure he screwed hard sometimes, Windows CE/Phone/Mobile struggled and lost billions for years, Zune was a flop, Vista was a half flop that without the usual huge preinstalled numbers would have nearly killed one of the two main MS money printers, XB360 became eventually a success, but it was rushed and the unreliability of the first model was the main responsible for losing its head start, quickly on Wii, that was incredibly strong, and eventually on PS3 too, despite the latter starting bad too. The original XB lost billions due to horribly one-sided deals with Intel and NVidia (not entirely his fault, during the first years of its development Uncle Bill was still CEO). Most recently, Surface achieved results strongly under expectations, Windows RT is a half flop, also due to its closed SW and HW approach, another example of greed and monopolistic behaviour being punished, and the list could go on...
