Comment on Cringely Predicts: Eric Schmidt may replace Steve Ballmer

Comments

Cringely's predictions are occasionally fun to read, but I regard him as a fiction author whose genre is West Coast technology firms.

Eric Schmidt's executive experience includes Sun Microsystems, Novell, and Google, and he spent time on Apple's board of directors. How could Microsoft staff and stockholders NOT treat Eric-as-CEO as a middle finger to the last decade's efforts? I imagine the stock price would be savaged by such a choice.
