The Xbox One has been nothing but a train wreck so far.

I imagine Sony is laughing their asses off right now.

The CEO. The guy running the Xbox One division resigned and they had nobody to replace him so Ballmer stepped in to fill the role.

Right, until they can find somebody to fill the spot Ballmer will be leading it.
Long story short, Ballmer is a nutjob who has been dubbed a failure at every turn, yet has somehow made it to MS CEO.

How is this guy where he is, especially after this tantrum at a meeting...?

...He's done a great job killing Google, too! :palm:

Reminds me of Horroble Bosses where one of the bosses just takes an opening in the company for himself and bitches that he is only taking 75% of the salary from the new postion

lol The one and only reason I use Bing is because they give me free Microsoft points. And I only use it for those 15 searches a day. I still use Google for my real searches.

I just visited Bing after ages. The only thing I like about Bing is that it has background pics. Google removed those for no reason. Those things piss me off, everything has less design choices now, for example WLM(before it died), Hotmail(as it turned into Outlook), Skype, Youtube channel page(I used to have a really neat design). Why would I want to look at fucking white boxes all the time?
