Microsoft CFO Quits

Posted by timothy on from the extended-family-is-a-new-twist-on-the-old-lie dept.

McGruber writes "NBC News is reporting that Microsoft's Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein is leaving the company to spend time with his extended family, as Microsoft 'struggles with sharply declining personal computer sales and a lukewarm reception for its new Windows 8 operating system.' Klein is the latest in a line of top-level executives to leave the company, following Windows head Steven Sinofsky last November."

    Ah, yes, Microsoft is in deep shit now, what with the record revenue and what not. No wonder the CFO ran away. 2013 is going to be the year of Linux on the desktop, all hail RMS!

    Ever wonder how Steve Ballmer keeps his job. Well, here it is:

    Bill Gates is Chairman of Microsoft's Board of Directors and Microsoft's largest stockholder

    Steve Ballmer was best man at Bill Gates' wedding.
