Obviously I don't know what I'm talking about, but my first thought was that the new CEO had the old one taken out...and has been planning it a while, thus the convenient 'retirement plans'.

Good cover.

Maybe I've been watching too much Law and Order.

It's a signficant loss for Micron as the past CEO was instrumental in keeping them going through the past few rough years. I believe that he was one of the few execs in the industry who actually took no pay during the roughest times. Hopefully his replacement will be able to carry on the company.

Am I the only one that read Microsoft instead of Micron? Maybe i'm the only one that wanted this to happen, or subconsciously I want Balmer, aka a big fat yelling rich billionaire, out/off of his bald throne.

2015+ is too far Balmer -- stock holders like me want sooner rather than later so that our shares rise instead of break even for 2 years. IMHO.

I agree, you obviously don't know what your talking about

I'll be interested to see what Duncan does in response to the HDD shortage... tough situation to get thrown in the middle of!
