'Productive' PCs head Ballmer's list of what Microsoft must do right Sep 20th 2013, 11:15 Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer may have several months before he actually steps down, but his candid assessment of the future of the PC and of Microsoft felt like the first words of a long goodbye. Ballmer concluded Microsoft's 2013 analyst meeting as a shareholder, not as a chief executive, promising to root for the company in the years ahead. Ballmer owns about 4 percent of Microsoft, by his own admission. "I am very long in Microsoft," Ballmer said. "I believe in the company as an investment. I believe in what the company can do. I believe in the people and talent that are here and at least this one shareholder will absolutely be cheering every day from the day I'm not working here on, I'm 'MSFT,' if you will, all over. It's in my blood, in my heart and I'll have been glad to have served." At one point, he urged all of the Wall Street investors in the audience to stand up and cheer for Microsoft's stock. "You all own Microsoft stock. Cheer for it. We all want it to go the same direction, up." None of the analysts appeared to take Ballmer up on his offer, however.
