I'm not sure I would keep any of them :-) I would love to see Chelsea Hightower with Larry Page maybe. (or just Chelsea)

Steve Ballmer would be looking great, if he had not let MICROSOFT drop the ball with the mobile OS. Now it seems to be too little too late. Winner = iPhone

I would like to see Ballmer because he talks much and does less. He predicts the future of competing products but nothing comes out true. Ballmer: Android will be a failure; now where's Android and Windows Phone LOL

- I would go with anybody other then Steve Ballmer
  
  @shellcodes_coder
  as first to be "booted". Steve Ballmer has kept Microsoft earning billions every year, while Google and the other companies have held the "Change the CEO" dance more times then they should have had to.
  
  I did notice that people made their choices in the poll based on their jealousy of those more successful then themselves, and not on logical evaluation of facts.
