Here's the concern:
1. Everyone thinks Microsoft needs a rethink.
2. Ballmer and others inside Microsoft think they did that and just need to execute on it (devices first, etc.)
3. This guy helped develop the rethink that is in-process.
Any external candidates would have had to buy-in to the restructure already started but not fully executed under Ballmer. Since he was theoretically part of the changes started with Ballmer, he will continue the same agenda.
- Consultant32452 13y agoIMHO the re-think wasn't too far off. Microsoft's tablet OS is pretty nice. It was just late to the game and needs a stronger app ecosystem but they're working on that. The UI for Win8 desktop was DOA. They really over-shot there but have taken what I feel are appropriate steps to mitigate some of the damage and I think we'll see a nicer, better solution come Win9.
- mergy 13y agoI hope so. We need more competition out there and Microsoft should be in the mix. It will be interesting to see changes if Ballmer and Gates remain on the Board in some capacity.
