Microsoft CEO: World's Worst Job - Businessweek

A succinct summary of the revenge of Steve Jobs

"Fixing Microsoft will take a lot of strategic imagination. When Steve Ballmer took over from founder Bill Gates in 2000, 93 percent of consumer computing devices ran on the company’s Windows operating system; in 2012 it was 19 percent, according to Goldman Sachs (GS). As Microsoft stares down middle age, some investors want it to focus on business and cloud software and jettison lower-margin consumer hardware. Others are concerned that those markets have become too intertwined for the company to do that."
