News that Steven Sinofsky is leaving Microsoft came as a shock this morning and nobody could ever see this coming. Except for Steve Ballmer, that is, as it appears that Sinofsky and the Microsoft CEO did not get along very well.

The whole industry has reacted in some way to this news and while some said that Microsoft may actually lose its future CEO, others welcomed the announcement and pointed out that Windows 8 is such a disappointment mostly because of Sinofsky.
