It's summer and the living is supposed to be easy. Easy, that is, unless you're Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Ballmer just can't seem to appease Microsoft shareholders, customers and watchdogs, and no wonder. The company has lurched from one PR mess to the next. Whether it's the embarrassment of Vista delays, the warnings about skyrocketing costs, or the market gains of competitors like Google and Apple, it seems Microsoft can't buy a break. Some are even predicting that Ballmer could soon move on (voluntarily or not) from his CEO post if Microsoft's stock doesn't shape up.
