Ballmer Is Left With `Google Envy,' Sinking Stock
,----[ Quote ]
| Bill Gates today turns Microsoft Corp. over to the sole leadership of Steve
| Ballmer. There may have been better times for a handoff.
|
| Shares of the world's largest software maker are down 22 percent this year,
| sales of Windows software are slowing, and an attempt to buy Yahoo! Inc.
| flopped. And Google Inc. is widening its lead over Microsoft in Internet
| searches, leaving Ballmer with a case of ``chronic Google envy,'' according
| to Jane Snorek, an analyst at Minneapolis-based First American Funds.
