    Well its old news and new news. Its just official that he is the non exec atm and thats all. And no you cant compare apples and mirco(oranges). Although both fruits, both are different flavors and textures. Can never compare the two.

    I think Balmer will do an okay job... nothing like Gates but he'll still be there to consult so it'l be fine..

    I think gates in the next 20 years is going to make a bigger impact with his philanthropist organization then when he was with M$.

    Has he finished his degree in college yet? I heard rumors that he was going back last year but didn't know if he did or not. If so, he should go back. Give the man something to do during retirement even though a degree isn't of much use to him.
