The software company said its board had appointed a special committee to direct the process of appointing a new CEO.
The committee is chaired by John Thompson, the board's lead independent director, and includes Microsoft founder and Chairman Bill Gates, as well as other board members Chuck Noski and Steve Luczo.
It will consider both external and internal candidates and is working with executive recruiting firm Heidrick & Struggles International Inc, according to the company.
As long as she's not 'following' the Ball .. mer trail!She might be on the ball, we can't tell.
Maybe now Microsoft can get its stuff together.

The first move needs to be scrapping Metro. They can do a funny Dallas Pam/Bobby type ad.

:thumb: Yep! The people have spoken! And that's 12 months too long!As for Ballmer.... well, good riddance, and it can't come too soon, frankly I think the guy should leave ASAP for the good of the company and the employees.
Q: What was today like for you? After all, you've been one of the most public faces of Microsoft since 1980.
Ballmer: Somebody said congratulations to me this morning, and I've got to say that surprised me, probably shouldn't. When you retire, it's a perfectly reasonable thing. But, of course, my mind's been all around this notion of it never really being perfect time. ...
Q: Did Chairman Bill Gates ask you to stay or go?
Ballmer: No. Bill -- I mean, no. Bill respects my decision. I mean, it's one of these things when if it's -- you know, ultimately these kinds of things have to be one's own personal decision.
Q: Your biggest regret?
Ballmer: Oh, you know, I've actually had a chance to make a lot of mistakes,
Rikkins, you crack me up with every post of yours.
I am drawn to comment. The forum has 26,000 members. There are normally more than 2000 members on line.
Yet, it constantly surprises me that so much criticism is posted in these forums, often around only a couple of points, but the credit for the good points in Windows 8 remains minimal.
The principal problem with Windows 8 (imho), was allowing its very early, unfinished, release to amateur testers. Those same testers jumped in with both feet, but very little investigation or imagination, and condemned the product from the start.
