Gregory, it is one thing to be in a position of responsibility to shareholders and entirely another if he is speaking to friends or as an analyst.

There is no constructive purpose to his comments from a shareholder viewpoint.

Gregory I just wrote to Microsoft's Public relations and told them that I would cast my share votes to have Ballmer fired.

To all my fellow Dell, Microsoft and other stock shareholders..This is absolutely outrageous and screams for justice.http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19990923/tc/microsoft_ballmer_1.html Ballmer should be fired for causing one of the worse debacles in Nasdaq's history. I encourage all shareholders to e-mail Microsoft and demand that this man resign or be fired. His comments today is what caused the market meltdown and it is not just some minor incident we can ignore.

We should not tolerate this kind of criminal arrogance from any company executive. This as you say is really pathetic and it is wrong for us to condone this in any way. It is time for Ballmer to be let go. There was nothing beneficial to Microsoft shareholders in demonstrating unprofessional,and unethical conduct. This wreckless regard for common sense cannot be ignored. The markets were behaving ok until this man deliberately set out to sabotage the financial world. The entire investment community no matter what they are invested in should demand Ballmer's resignation for causing the bottom to fall out. After notifying a few more threads I am going to write my letter to Microsoft and invite you to do the same.
