LOL not a serious answer but I can't help myself when reading this question thinking it should be Scott Forstall. It'd sound more like a movie or something where the ousted so-called Steve Jobs protege takes revenge by siding with Apple's long time frenemy to bring back MS' glory
Someone very technically oriented person (Ray Ozzie type person) MS has lots of business talent. What they have been lacking is ability to grow new relevant technology in-house.<p>From strategy perspective, Stephen Elop. Mobile platforms is the part that is lacking most in MS strategy and it's kind of important for the future of the company. Stephen Elop has been eating the MS dog food for few years in Nokia and MS has let down Nokia again and again. MS software is just lacking behind Android more than year. For example, it's unforgivable that software side prevents using high resolution screens.
