Steve Ballmer: NOT ignoring shareholders


Can you hear us, Steve Ballmer? Can you hear us now?

The answer to the question (asked by analysts across Wall Street, on behalf of the millions of Microsoft shareholders they purport to represent) has been a resounding no. But Ballmer is trying to change all that. Tomorrow morning he heads to New York to present at the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Strategic Decisions Conference (Strategic Decision #1: presenting at the conference), at 8 a.m., bright and early. Says Michael Holland, fund manager and MSFT shareholder for more than a decade: "What I want to hear is how much he listens." As Ballmer is known for listening with a huge chip on his shoulder, this should be interesting.

Says David Hunter: "This may be a cross cultural experience for all involved." It will be the first time Ballmer has done anything of this kind, and he'll be repeating his performance in Boston on Thursday. We'll be blogging the webcast live.
