"Its existence is a constant cloud over most of Microsoft shares," Einhorn said in a conference Ira Sohn Investment Research Conference in New York, United States.

Ballmer has been CEO since 2000 as the shifting role of Bill Gates. That said, according to Reuters, quite a lot of skeptical voices who criticize the leadership of Ballmer.
