Speaking of Bill Gates's management style, a former employee alleged that he is a bully who spends most of his time in presentations with his eyes shut. The employee in question is Tom Evslin who built most of the server products in Microsoft's backoffice.
He also revealed that during presentations Bill was likely to burst out and say, "that's the dumbest f***ing idea I've heard since I've been at Microsoft". Furthermore he said that you "will be just as much blamed for doing the wrong thing because [Bill] told you to as you will be if you did it all on your own".
It appears that Bill has a very dominating way of managing and this ended up rubbing off on workers down the line who copied his bullying tactics as they thought being rude would make them just as smart and rich. Unfortunately it also meant that people who could have contributed to the company were frightened away and left prematurely.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Is it really being a bully or is it being the boss of a multi-billion dollar business? Mistakes are a lot higher in his corp that in any other where one mistake could cost many hundred million compared to a few thousand by some other standard company. Sounds to me this 'ex-worker' just couldn't take the heat of the hussle and bussle of the heavy competitive workforce.
he is all about choices, he let you choose one of the 6 or 7 version of Vista each with the SAME price. He is going to continue supporting Windows Xp until later this year so everyone has to get VISTA. Is all about choice.
...and seems to be either fake or very over-the-top.
Lol that did make me laugh and MS are supporting Windows XP until 2009. At the moment Windows Vista is pointless, over priced and nothing really works well with it, wait until the end of this year or next year for it to come down in price, some better DirectX10 games and graphics cards.
Who cares. It works, whatever he's doing.
