It makes me think of what Hitler's top generals must have told him, which led him to making bad decisions in the war.

It's funny because I agreed with the top comment until you posted this. Now that you mention it though believing the positive pronouncements of your top generals at a time when you're clearly losing is delusional. Especially when it leads you to make decisions like moving Windows to Metro (therefore betting the whole company on an interface that has yet to succeed with consumers).

Really? Perhaps you should reread the following parts of history.
