Maybe a not so good sign but we'll see, Microsoft probably has a pool of talent on the sidelines or at least one would hope.

I think it's neutral news. Reading his and the CEO's comments, they seem to be on good terms with this leave and there hasn't been any large blunders or crashes yet (*knocks on wood*) unlike the recent "fall on your sword for Apple's Maps application" debacle that just happened.

Reading reports from insiders indicates that the guy kind of did his own thing. He managed things well, but earned the ire of other executives. Only Gates was defending him, and Gates has been gone for years. He just didn't fit in well. It doesn't look like any cause for major concern, but the timing is bad, so investors are worried. The stock is down significantly, but MSFT has been priced low for a while so it probably won't drop like AAPL did.

Can we stop doing the M$ thing now? It's silly.
