I&rsquo;m sure you all know Ballmer, the tall, sweaty man who loves to yell things like &ldquo;c&rsquo;mon!&rdquo; and the classic &ldquo;developers, developers, developers&rdquo;.&nbsp;Ballmer was put into the role of Microsoft CEO during 2000 and is ranked as the 19th richest man in the world. However, like&nbsp;Forbes&nbsp;mentions, this man could be blamed for a lot of Microsoft&rsquo;s issues like being slow to act in emerging markets, most namely smartphones.</p><p style=&quot;vertical-align: baseline; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px&quot;>&ldquo;Although he&rsquo;s #19 on Forbes list of billionaires, Mr. Ballmer should not be allowed to take such incredible risks with investor money and employee jobs.&nbsp; Best he be retired to enjoy his fortune rather than deprive investors and employees of building theirs.&rdquo;</p><p style=&quot;vertical-align: baseline; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px&quot;>At the time of the iPhone&rsquo;s launch in 2007, Ballmer and other Microsoft execs didn&rsquo;t feel threatened by it. Now&nbsp;<span style=&quot;border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial&quot;>look at who&rsquo;s on top</span>. Ballmer&rsquo;s glory also came around the time of &nbsp;Windows Vista &mdash; which was plagued by issues &mdash; and let OS X Leopard push Macs where they are today.</p>
