Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 Serial Key

I don;t create a routine of commenting on other pundits; prediction lists. Immediately after all, a prediction is simply an individual;s impression, and who knows what might occur inside a 12 months or 10….But I am going to make an exception and call out one of Newsweek;s ten Tech Predictions because I am 99.999 percent sure it;s out and out wrong. Newsweek claims Microsoft will oust CEO Steve Ballmer in 2010, the year of his tenth anniversary as Microsoft CEO.Newsweek lists a number of valid criticisms about Microsoft: Its late-to-the-party arrival on search and MP3 players; its tanking Windows Mobile marketshare; the Vista “fiasco.” And yes, Ballmer was the top dog during all of these debacles. Newsweek claims “investors must be getting restless” and will soon will “be calling for a shakeup.” (As readers aof this blog know, there already are a number of very vocal Ballmer critics, including a number of you,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus Serial Key, who;ve been agitating for a shake-up for a while now.)But a Ballmer ouster in 2010? That;s click-bait, pure and simple. Ballmer has said he intends to stay on as CEO for close to another decade. The Microsoft board,Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 Serial Key, headed by Ballmer buddy Bill Gates, would have to fire him to get rid of him. And who would the board put in location? The in-house choices aren;t very appealing (as my podcasting partner in crime Gavin Clarke and I recently noted during our year-end Microbite episode). And Microsoft is notorious for being an unwelcoming and hostile spot for outsiders to succeed.Lots of shareholders — including many Microsoft employees — have been unhappy with senior leadership for the past few years,Microsoft Office Pro 2007 Serial Key, especially because of Microsoft;s stagnant stock price. But Ballmer took some steps in 2009 (axing 5,000+ employees, trimming travel budgets and reining in other costs) that Wall Street liked. Windows 7 has been well-received by users and company watchers. And Ballmer escaped making one of the biggest mistakes of his career by not buying Yahoo, and instead convincing that company to sign on for a partnership, which if approved by antitrust authorities,Office Pro 2007 Product Key, will get Microsoft what it wanted without the Redmondians having to pay $50-odd billion.I;m not defending Ballmer out of favoritism. I haven;t been allowed to interview SteveB for more than 10 years. (”He;s a busy guy,” I hear,Office 2007 Key, as each request I make is denied, and he;s shuffled off to talk to the same group of folks for the umpteenth time.)I do think Ballmer is blamed for many decisions that were put in place by Gates. As more and more Friends of Bill are pushed out and/or move on — replaced by Friends of Steve — we;ll see a different Microsoft emerge. The coming decade will have SteveB;s stamp on it more than the previous one did. And, for better or for worse, that will mean a Microsoft that;s more driven by MBAs than geeks.What;s your consider? Is Ballmer on his way out? Should he be?
