('cause' was in the wrong place)

Some may remember how much different Ballmer was as an executive at the company all those years ago, a real hard charging fun guy to be around. Today, he is just too serious about everything, I am certain much of this is from all the pressure he is under to deliver quality products. But he understands what people are saying about needing new faces at the company, he has recently made the biggest changes ever with younger executives, vice presidents. If there is any truth to these claims, you can imagine it's these new faces that have given him the deadline of fall 2012 for him to step down. I personally think Satya Nadella from the Servers division has the creative genius to really push Microsoft into the future, more than likely it will be Sinofsky, which isn't a bad choice either.

rumor says that Ballmer will step down from his position at Microsoft following the release of Windows 8. Website Windows8update.com said it received a tip from a source that says that the current Microsoft CEO will resign sometime after the launch of Windows 8.

So who would be next in line to lead Microsoft? It could very well be Windows President Steven Sinofsky, who lead the team on Windows 7 and is overseeing development on Windows 8.

And the future came to pass and the mirror of reality reflected the complete opposite! ;o)

But, maybe a further future will see a reversal of this situation...

"sometime after the launch of Windows 8" could be anything from a few weeks to a couple quintillion years, depending on the eventual age of the universe.
