After Bill, Who?

Now that Bill Gates has made it official that he will be spending time on his charities and slowly transition out of his active duties at Microsoft, the big question is who should run Microsoft.

Steve is the main business brain behind microsoft. He should continue to be there. I knw there have been a few missed boats in the past, but then Microsoft has always always caught up and I am sure will do so again this time.

Linus Trovalds and Doc Searls, with some help from Shuttleworth. Oh and
add a dash of Jobs just to make sure every thing actually integrates but doesn’t become an iPod and or a Cube
