Ballmer beating Jobs?!

Forbes Monthly CEO Ratings

It seems that someone (don't know who) seems to be plotting against the RDF. Because while His Steveness has stayed on top of Forbes' list for as long as anyone can remember, now his approval rating has crashed unexpectedly, while Fat Ballmer's has gone up an incredible amount. I would think there's a group of Windoze drones out there jealous of the G5.

Because as far as "industry trends" goes (the reason this belongs in this forum, this is a BAD trend. Jobs must always be above his Sweatiness, the dancing orangutan.

Go vote for Jobs! Against Ballmer! To Arms!

I voted.

So what? It's a very unscientific poll and it means ABSOLUTELY nothing. If SJ is winning it's ok but if he's not then the hand-wringing begins? Why are some Apple folk (I consider myself one of them) such whinners? Truth be told since SJ's return Apple's market share hasn't risen, it's fallen. In most companies, he would probably have been unseated by the board of directors a long time ago. CEO's or even iCEO's must produce you know. If things don't show real market share growth in the next 2 years (as well as profits), look for major changes at Apple. (Just an unscientific opinion).

Let's go ballot stuffing!

Whoa! My vote makes it 50%, equally.

Check the number of votes cast...it's already stuffed...obviously by Pro-Microsofties.

Yes, though someone needs to email them and have them put up a notice for everyone to go back and vote down Ballmer as most people don't seem to have scrolled down.

The last time we checked, Steve needed over 3,000 votes just to break even. Care to lend a hand?

Wow. That means there were over 3 thousand votes between this afternoon and then!

only 13902 people voted in total for balmer (name does not deserve to be capalotized), 19633 voted for Steve

well jobs is in the red again and balmer is back in the black... methinks something fishy is going on with scripts...

macusers · July 5, 2003 4:13PM

who would put no for Steve, it could only be some windows freak

bostonmh · July 7, 2003 11:51AM

I guess Steve is really pissing off the PC weenies. Steve has over 48,000 yes votes and a whomping 78,000 no votes. What I find funny is that all the other yes & no votes for everyone else only total less than 28,000. so all the others get less than 28,000 and Steve had more than 126,000. Hmmm me think Steve is still the man to beat.
