So basically Elop has just publicly ruled himself out of contention with these ridiculous opinions. Casting off Xbox at this critical point would be a disaster and massively weaken Microsoft's position. The post-PC era is dictating very clearly that Xbox may be the last "full PC" device remaining in the modern home... and he wants to cast it off? Bing... it's better than defaulting their products to use Google. Microsoft Office is a fine product but it is a legacy one. I wonder what Elop's "opinion" is of Azure? That ridiculously high productivity and highly agile team that's been pumping out releases on a 2-3 weekly cycle for the past 2 years? Wait. What? Why is Elop even in the running at all for the CEO position? That itself is fucking insane. Look what he did to Nokia!
