I'd not buy a used car from Steve Ballmer. I always have the urge to wash my hands whenever I read or see anything that has to do with the guy. Must be something wrong with me; OCD perhaps 🙂
 
The title is deciving.
"Steve Ballmer's Popularity Within Microsoft Takes a Dive"
the "Within Microsoft" part makes me think that the EMPLOYEES were the ones that dissapproved of what he is doing. Instead this article talks about overall approval ratings and doesn't mention these ratings being from the employees.

I think it should say "Steve Ballmer's Popularity Takes a Dive".

Also, it says his approval rating went down and does say why it went down, just that he doesn't want to retire yet.
 
Apple's iCEO Tim Cook should NOT be included since he just took over less then 2 months.
I would say Tim Cook is still in his CEO honeymoon phase.
 
Don't you guys have any decent picture of Ballmer? Every picture I see of him he always in some sweaty shirt, or has that planet of the apes look, like in the picture above.
 
DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS *claps hand*

[citation][nom]IndignantSkeptic[/nom]what about Activision's CEO?[/citation]
LOL yes I'd like to know that too xD
 
I thought that things were improving with WP7 and W8. Sure, WP7 market share is puny, but it's a great product and gaining traction.

Quote "Steve Ballmer's approval rating among Microsoft declined to 35 percent from 49 percent last year." AMONG MICROSOFT
 
Jim Crow of Level 3 should change his name. I wonder how much of that negativity towards him is related to historical facts.
 
I'll have to say...it's not really his job to be popular, but my guess is that many of those same people don't have faith in his decisions and vision (if there is any) for Microsoft.
 
[citation][nom]synd[/nom]Where is AMD's CEO?[/citation]
he is really liked, he used to work for lenovo and made it the third largest computer seller (better than jobs :) )

i'm amazed why people like apple's CEO, they don't even know him, or maybe apple just employs iSheep

It is not deceiving, because GlassDoor's ratings are from employees of the company.
 
i think this study is wrong, MS has released some great products since like 2009, just see windows (phone) 7, windows 8, XNA, Office 2010, VS.net 2010, kodu and many great stuff

if the MS guy gets low scores and the apple guy gets high one, i'll say people who make this study are quite biased and use macs
 
How marginal has MSFT become to the technology world? So marginal that a writer can't be bothered to capitalize Gates' last name ("...and still enjoys Bill gates' support..."). In 20 years, the way one might do today regarding "AltaVista," people will turn to each other and say, "Remember that company Microsoft?"
