Today, Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft announced that he'd be stepping down from his position sometime in the next year. The question of who would be the next CEO of Microsoft has been brought up, and so far, there's been no answer. Ballmer hopes it'll be someone who can carry the company into the future, and has high hopes for someone more youthful taking control. Wall Street seems to think this is great news though. Upon Ballmer's announcement, stock prices soared to their highest price this month, and the second highest of the year thus far. That's got to hurt Steve Ballmer's ego.
