When you are employee number 30, the rich part is kind of important. The guy might be the worst CEO in their history, but he did get in on the ground floor.

Agreed, I'm not saying it isn't.

I'm just laughing at Ballmer trying to justify his time at CEO in this thread.

Steve Jobs didn't know much about tech either, but he knew what he and, by extension, the public wanted in personal computing. Ballmer's foresight was the exact opposite and it's a big reason why Microsoft stalled from an innovation standpoint.
