Steve Ballmer compares Bill Gates to Chairman Mao
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has a hard time convincing the media that the company will do well without Bill Gates in charge. The pressure must've gotten to him, because he just compared his boss to the father of Chinese communism. Ballmer told the Wall Street Journal:
There have been many companies who lost their greatness post their founders. There have been many companies who went on to greater greatness after their founders.... When did China get great? China didn't get great under Mao Zedong. China got great under — in the recent years — probably got great under Deng Xiaoping.
Who should be more insulted, Bill or Mao?
