<Ballmer directs MS just as Gates did, and I was replying to Tom's message and its reference to Gates.>
I understand. I was just trying to make the point (not particularly well, I guess) that the organization has changed over time, and that Ballmer's role in the company isn't the same as Gates's used to be--he's not the Chief Technology Officer. So, the guy whose technological deficiencies we need to concentrate on is Ozzie, not Ballmer. :) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
