Ballmer hammers home Microsoft's 'high-value' strategy in final letter to shareholders
In his last letter to shareholders, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer hammered on the same themes he and other execs struck three weeks ago before Wall Street analysts.
Why Microsoft's next CEO will fail
Steve Ballmer isn't necessarily a bad CEO. After all, Microsoft's on strong financial footing.

If that culture doesn't change, Ballmer's replacement will fare even worse than he did.

CEO Ballmer and his predecessor shared a vision of how Microsoft could stay on top by focusing on Windows.
