Microsoft's big cheese, Steve Ballmer
from the we-all-new-it-was-going-to-happen-but-we-didn't-know-when dept
It seems like there is an interesting little update on former CEO Bill Gates change of position. The big question is where does this leave Microsoft,which to some people the thought of Microsoft without Bill Gates, virtually indicates a loss of indentity. It will be interesting to see if Steve Ballmer will keep the media's interest in MS or whether they'll fade a little into the background (which may not be that bad for a while).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
