How is Elop even in the discussion?
That would be failing up.
- RyJones 13y agoDevil you know. Elop was racing up the ranks before he left, and now he has some seasoning as a CEO.
- CurtHagenlocher 13y agoWhile I understand that people enjoy playing with the various Elop conspiracy theories, they always seem to ignore inconvenient facts. In particular, Elop has now been a Nokia employee for longer than he was ever a Microsoft employee. Furthermore, he was hired into Microsoft as the head of MBD and that's the position he had when he left less than three years later -- so there was certainly no "racing up the ranks".
- drakaal 13y agoElop was put at Nokia to see how he would do as a CEO. He isn't really in the running anymore because he and Bill disagree on focus. Bill says Microsoft is about the connected home. Elop says it should be about the Connected Business. Elop doesn't want Xbox, or Music. Bill wants Xbox, Media Center, more movies, and an Answer to YouTube.
