I always thought that Sinofsky was a driving force behind some of the changes that preceded Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. This comes as a great surprise to me and I hesitate to think who would be in a good position to follow him (and ultimately who would fill Ballmer's shoes in the company).
- ekianjo 14y agoIs this related to some reactions regarding Windows 8? Or simply some internal issues between Sinofsky and other execs?

- wsc981 14y agoOne of the comments in the linked article suggests that this could mean that the surface is selling much worse as expected. There might be some truth in this. As Steve Jobs has said: “Somewhere between the janitor and the CEO, reasons stop mattering.”
