My first objection to this, and I think the most sane, is that it won’t happen because you’d have one too many Bills at Microsoft. I mean. Seriously. You couldn’t insult “Billy-Boy” without someone saying “wait.. do you mean the one with the intern or the one with the money?”

But as far as Microsoft goes they could do worse. Balmer’s always been a bit over the top. He’s in good company with Oracle’s and Sun’s chief of staffs. But a slightly more refined (I think I just referred to Bill Clinton as more refined) person at the helm might not be a bad thing for the company.

Anyway, it’ll happen right after Google releases their PC and MS purchases Opera.
