Search For Microsoft CEO Continues into February

Don’t expect to hear about the new Microsoft CEO before January is over, as the search is expected to continue into February due to Bill Gates’ packed schedule.

The Microsoft Chairman will be busy commits to other matters throughout the rest of January, which will take his attention away from choosing the company’s third CEO. Business involving the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, heading to Switzerland for a global event and Microsoft’s quarterly financial earnings –a matter that will require current CEO Steve Ballmer– are all set for various times this month.
