Influential investor suggested to Steve Ballmer to step down as CEO Microsoft

The representative of the influential hedge fund at a meeting held yesterday, investors made a statement that the current CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) has to leave his post. According to David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital that the presence of Mr. Ballmer at the post "is the greatest threat to the shares of Microsoft» and must give a chance for someone else to take the lead. " An investor who currently has about 9 million shares (or 0.11% of total shares outstanding), accused the executive director in the loss of time and money associated with the misjudgment of prospective mergers and acquisitions, as well as an underestimation of the segment of smartphones, multimedia players and tablets.

David Einhorn recalled Steve Ballmer many of his previous statements, like the fact that the iPhone and iPod does not pose a threat to Microsoft, as well as his numerous statements that go counter to or contrary to public relations company. The last of these statements were made as recently as this week, which then had to rebut, specifying that it should not go about the devices with the new Windows OS 8, and on new devices already available on the market of Windows 7. The official reaction of the board and Steve Ballmer himself has not yet followed, but with these "accusations" is difficult to argue - OS Windows Phone is long overdue with respect to the Android OS from Google, talks about the tablets with Windows 7 so far more numerous devices themselves, and the Zune player essentially loses popularity iPod.
