There's a good chance he was more involved than Ballmer.
And you think this because?
And you think this because?
lol...but before Satya became CEO he was in charge of Azure and cloud.
Yes. And why would you think the person in charge of Azure and Cloud would have more to do with Office than the CEO of the company? Office is under Applications and Services. Cloud and Azure are in a separate group.
The question should be why should Ballmer get much of the credit anyway if he was against it to begin with?
He was the head of Microsoft's cloud division. It powers Office 365 and several other Microsoft products. He probably had to work closely with the Office team to make sure everything worked smoothly.
You just killed your point you were trying to make. Ballmer isn't going to get credit for Office for iPad...he is not the CEO.
So all the work he did while he was CEO means nothing because he left a few months before it was released? Do you know nothing about how software development works?
Yes, he did work with them. The question is why you'd think Nadellla would have more to do with it than Ballmer. And that's a question you haven't answered.
You're starting to beat a dead horse in this thread dude. Who cares....Office for iPad is out, like Satya said....TEAM MICROSOFT.
No, I just answered it. If you disagree then perhaps you should provide sufficient evidence of what Ballmer did to help grow the Cloud and Enterprise division. Last I checked it was Satya that's credited for growing the Cloud and Enterprise division from 16 billion to 20 billion. It's his division that allows Office 365 and Microsoft's numerous cloud efforts to flourish. If you have evidence to the contrary then please post it.
OK, I was wrong. The real question is: WHO REALLY GIVES A FLYING BURRITO?
Is Steve Ballmer your fishing buddy or something? Why do you really care?
Just like Elop got most of the blame for the mistakes that were done over a span of 5 years before he even joined Nokia.
Guys no matter what we do this guy isn't going to be happy.
