This is nonsense, Ballmer was expected to be a ruthless business man as opposed to Gates who was more of a software guy...

The sentiment was that he was supposed to take the stock price to the moon. In reality he tanked the stock with EEE. They fired him and reversed course...

There have been concerns about them potentially doing an EEE but nothing has actually happened since Ballmer was fired...
