Ballmer probably knows it's his last executive position he'll ever get in this industry. So he's squeezing as much out of it as he can. Or he's just a fanboy of the "old Microsoft."
His net worth is $15.7 billion[1] so I doubt he's concerned about "squeezing as much out of it as he can". [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Ballmer

It's an ego thing.

I am not sure why this is considered news. Guess just because this guy went on the record to state the obvious? Every large company develops internal politics with various degrees of harm to itself and its performance. If the business is led by a non-founder, non-technical, non-performing CEO it is a given that he will always feel like an insecure usurper/impostor more concerned about protecting their job from rivals…
I think that this really is news - peeling back the covers to see the mess going on at Microsoft seems to my mind quite interesting.

This is not just some sort of non-innovative company well know for it's vicious internal fighting like EMC. This is Microsoft, an extremely important and, yes, innovative company.

Probably throws chairs at them... To be serious, this is normal in most corporates. It starts when you let the MBA* with the personality disorder in, you're fucked. I've watched three companies fall at the hands of such people. * This is not true of all MBAs, but I seem to see a trend where there are more borderline psychopaths.
The grandiouse title giving should probably be reigned in.
It might be an inevitability - or it might be that giant companies are just of their time and giant will now be in the thousands not the hundreds of thousands
Anyway it's not news.
