Ballmer takes £47k pay cut as MS sales fall.

Steve Ballmer has taken a pay cut from Microsoft this year as the company posted its first ever fall in yearly sales.
The CEO has seen his salary fall from $1,350,834 (£847,289) to $1,276,627 (£800,744) in the last year, the result of a $100,000 reduction in bonuses.
His basic salary of $665,833 was actually up from the previous year, although Microsoft has said it will be freezing salaries for the financial year in 2010.
