Saying this is sudden would be an understatement.

It’s hard to imagine a more last minute move on the boards part here. Been in tech exec leadership for a long time and this feels like they’re accusing him of cannibalism (in corporate PR speak). No way this didn’t get decided on in the middle of last night. Whatever he did is big and dangerous, or they’re trying to pin it on him.

We are on HN after all, so I'm sure we won't need to wait until his book comes out... :)

BTW, I had a feeling he made an awkward appearance next to Satya.

And that laughter whenever the acquisition topic was hinted at was cringeworthy - would regulators even permit MSFT a full takeover? I think it would be highly controversial.
