    They also didn’t treat devs very well. A lot of folks pulled their apps or let them die on the vine instead of having to majorly replatform to support the latest versions of their mobile OS.

    This made their App Store go from mediocre to downright anemic.

        IMHO, he wasn’t great, but I feel like the their software has really gone downhill since he left. All they do is shuffle chairs, reorg - not ship.

        That said, Ballmer didn’t do a great job with the early days of digital music and mobile. He mocked a lot of that stuff, then was forced to get into those games way too late.

          He didn’t seem to get that the PC had been replaced as the major consumer form factor by Apple and Google with their mobile devices.

          I assume he didn’t understand how those devices were different from like Palm, Blackberry and stuff like Tablet PC.
