I love the fact that it took Ballmer to leave for them to really get serious about cutting-edge tech again. Bill Gates are probably wishing he never met Ballmer at Harvard.

Two sides to this comment:

1) It took Ballmer to leave for them to really get serious about innovating again.

2) ...because under Ballmer, they were able to make billions of dollars without innovating.

Bill Gates is probably pretty happy about #2 even if he's not thrilled about #1.
