It can be difficult to see things right in front of you if they are transparent or designed to show you some other object.
Case in point, yesterday's Microsoft Town Hall with Chris "Let me buy you breakfast to explain why the market isn't giving us a better P/E ratio" Liddel, Steve "Windows Mobile is on a rocket sled of growth and the iPhone is irrelevant" Ballmer and Lisa "Not earning enough? I guess we're not doing a good job of telling you how much you really earn." Brummel.
Watching those performances make it clear that we still have a long row to hoe before things stop getting worse and start getting better on our leadership front.
Come review time, I wish they were my skip-levels.

"Let me buy you breakfast to explain why the market isn't giving us a better P/E ratio"
ReplyDeleteOut of interest, did he actually take a stab at answering that and if so, what did he see as the reasons?
`To buy!' Alice echoed in a tone that was half astonished and half frightened -- for the oars, and the boat, and the river, had vanished all in a moment, and she was back again in the little dark shop.
ReplyDelete`I should like to buy an egg, please,' she said timidly.
`How do you sell them?'
`Fivepence farthing for one -- twopence for two,' the Sheep replied.
`Then two are cheaper than one?' Alice said in a surprised tone, taking out her purse.
`Only you must eat them both, if you buy two,' said the Sheep.
`Then I'll have one, please,' said Alice, as she put the money down on the counter. For she thought to herself, `They mightn't be at all nice, you know.'
The Sheep took the money, and put it away in a box: then she said `I never put things into people's hands -- that would never do -- you must get it for yourself.' And so saying, she went off to the other end of the shop, and set the egg upright on a shelf.
