Post Bill Gates Era : The future of Microsoft is sailing to wards murky shores

Two friends talking about their college days on the stage together. And surprisingly, those two buddies end up being: Bill Gates, and his pal the CEO of Microsoft Steve Ballmer.

This story has made several rounds in the technology circles. Gates, actually dropped out of Harvard University, in order pursue his dream of starting software "blitz" which ultimately went on to become the czar of software industry with "Microsoft Corporation". While Ballmer stayed on to complete his degree, worked briefly for Procter and Gamble. Later he went to Stanford University for an MBA degree, but his MBA was unfortunately interrupted by a single call from Bill Gates.

Since then both of them have been working as the dynamic duos of the tech business, Now Gates is preparing to step down from his day to day role with Microsoft. And the closest aide of Gates will be sworn in the chair of Bill Gates, amid the fears of hovering threats from Google, and how to compete with tycoon, especially in Search. Several questions are also sprouting on the failure of Vista.

Incredible source of wisdom

Ballmer has always passed on the peculiar questions from media to Bill Gates, saying that i would have to consult Bill over this and over that. He hasn’t been resolute enough to take the decisions on his own .
The tech pundits are refuting him for being very cautions during Yahoo’s bid. He was sailing around $49 billion, why shouldn’t he dare to stem the price to slightly up.

Quote: All in all Ballmer was responsible for mulling the entire deal. With Yahoo not in Microsoft’s kitty, the online journey of Microsoft seems to be heading to no where.

So the question is: Will Steve Ballmer is able to break saturation point which has been dotting the growth of Microsoft?

For an answer to this question we still have to wait for another year or so.

But it’s clear that Ballmer and Microsoft in deed have an herculean task at their hands.
