They had a cool graph on the news this morning: Bill Gates turned a theoretical $10,000 investment in Microsoft into $7,300,000 and his successor Steve Ballmer has turned a theoretical $10,000 investment into $4,300 based on stock performance during their respective tenures as CEO's. Big difference. $10,000=$7,300,000 $10,000=$4,300
Hope everyone has see the movie Triumph of the Nerds. Great movie about Apple, IBM and Microsoft. The true story of how IBM and Xerox gave away what would have been billions of dollars is amazing. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2part_triumph-of-nerds-steve-jobs-bill-ga_tech
