Shortly after leaving Microsoft Steven Sinofsky is tweeting from an iPhone, here is why
Former Windows head Steven Sinofsky was one of the most influential figures at Microsoft, suggested for the role of the future CEO by many until suddenly he quit the company for what was officially pictured as pursuing his own goals, but in reality it seems there was a clash with current chief executive Steve Ballmer.
