Geez more proof of how stupid people and the stock market is. MS has done well for itself since Bill Gates stepped down-Windows 7 is by far the best Windows they have ever made-and many say the Win7 os for smartphones is very good. That's with Steve Balmer in charge.
Tim Cook has been running things for awhile-the whole upper management were picked by Steve Jobs-and I'm sure a succession plan was in the works ever since he fell ill. Anyway like any company the team is the thing. I always liked the Woz anyway.
