微软掌门的三位潜在接班人

史蒂文•西诺夫斯基

Windows和Windows Live部门总裁

    如果微软需要做出迅速的转变，西诺夫斯基就是明显的接替人选。对那些害怕改变微软Windows秘方的忠实拥护者来说，这是件好事。但对那些更加关心是否有人能管理好微软众多移动产品的人来说，西诺夫斯基只关注Windows的做法却是个问题。Windows仍然是微软的核心业务，如果说有人了解这款操作系统的话，这个人就是西诺夫斯基。不过，如今Windows已经不再是微软的一切。依赖于Windows 8的表现，过多地关注它，这对微软来说可能是个大问题。

Steven Sinofsky

President of the Windows and Windows Live

    Sinofsky might be the obvious replacement should the company needs a rapid change. For stalwarts scared of changing Microsoft's secret sauce for Windows, that's a good thing. But for those who are rightfully more concerned with someone that can manage Microsoft's many moving parts, his sole focus on Windows is a problem. Windows is still central to Microsoft's business, and if anyone knows about that operating system, it's Sinofsky. And yet, Windows isn't everything anymore. And depending on how Windows 8 shakes out, focusing too heavily on it could be a real issue for Microsoft.
