... Ok so not really news anymore but interesting still. I've been following it since the announcement really, but I'm just curious what other technical folks think about it. Is this a good thing for Microsoft? Bad? Weird timing? (Yes)
I still don't know who that is. A quick google search shows that he hates open-source software, shows himself ignorant of all uses of open-source software (based on his opinions of Google and other companies), and uses propaganda and yellow-journalism to get his way.
I thought it was odd that he just issued this huge company wide reorganization, then announces his retirement. And now he buys out Nokia. Poor Microsoft is getting butchered by him.
