Re: Ballmer. He worked less than two years at P&G, which is why I said "not much in the way of business experience".
I also disagree with your comments re: the executive engineers
I'm not really sure what you're disagreeing with. I agree that Ballmer is no Gates. My first post in this thread was how Apple/MS aren't the same companies w/o Jobs/Gates. The follow-up poster made the point that Gates was surrounded by suits, and my point about engineering execs was that Gates wasn't surrounded by suits, but rather by engineers.
