They have to get a handle on worms on viruses and address consumer dissatisfaction.

One of the company's last huge option grants ? 3.5 million shares ? came when it lured Rick Belluzzo from his job as Silicon Graphics chief executive. Belluzzo joined Microsoft in 2000, became company president in 2001 and resigned in April 2002. The president post has since remained open.
I can't understand why they even thought about hiring Rick, let alone paying him anything more than $1.
I found it interesting that MSFT says that "security concerns" caused some recent revenue problems ... lo and behold they have a solution to it now. Talk about generating your own PR (from your own Internet virus petri dish platform).

They have to get a handle on worms on viruses and address consumer dissatisfaction. Not gonna happen as long as Ballmer continues to insist that the "solution" to Microsoft's security problems is to shut up security researchers.
