Off with his head!


Sinofsky ... was the head of the team that created Windows 8. He was also in charge of the Surface team, which made Microsoft's first tablet. 
It's a very strange move. Sinofsky was considered by many to be the next CEO after Steve Ballmer. Either Windows 8 is already considered a massive failure within Microsoft or that "tension" between Sinofsky and other executives was pretty bad.
