      It was a big risk for company as big as Microsoft to turn their core business around. Especially after he, as the one of the leaders of it experienced 2 major crisis in his turn. Remember, Apple was almost all in on the iPhone, Microsoft was the king in the tech world back then. They even had the best software for the smartphone at the time, but it's hard to go against 25+ years of legacy, this mistake isn't solely on him, it happened through the history, closest one to compare it to is IBM.

    There's really something about Steve Ballmer that he never gets the better credit of. The guy's energy is something else. Like an overgrown kid. But you can sense his passion for the latter half of the interview. Then he reverts to quirky. Hahahaha
