Bill Gates head on a stick!
« on: October 03, 2013, 10:27:18 PM »
After over a decade of the stock not growing and being a smelly turd shareholders feeling good about the ousting of CEO Steve Ballmer now also want Chairman of the Board Bill Gates out as well. Gates only owns 4.5% of MS now, he owned 49% when it went public. He sells 80 million shares per year and if that continues will have no stake in the company in 2018. No matter if he stays or goes it's probably too late for the company. They will continue their slow death spiral to irrelevance. No one cares about Windows anymore and the bad very costly decision of making Windows 8, Windows Phone & Surface is trying to claim it's next victim (Bill Gates).

@Iggy @EvilGuy

I don't think you guys have as much insider information on that topic as I do. I used to work for Commodore. Maybe I can show you one day. In the meantime enjoy these minor links.

Commodores management certainly played a role in their own demise. Irving Goulds policy of stamping out any and all Amiga clones was not a smart one. He should have encouraged and benefited from a healthy Amiga clone market. Irving Gould was the extreme lazy IT industry fat cat before there were many computer industry fat cats. It's a Bahamas thing.

I doubt B Gates will allow them to kick him out of the company he founded with Paul Allen.

Don't forget to check out the the article at the bottom of the link below "8 companies ruined by their founders".

Oh wow, Wikipedia and some linux neckbeard's website?  Well I'm convinced!

Here is a better linky for you.

It seems you forgot to read this one.

Beyond that Google is your friend. All of what they have done over the years is well documented and easy to find if you want to find it. If I printed it for you it would take 16000 or more full tractor trailers to deliver the paper to your house.
