USA Today goes with Bill Gates' announcement that, while remaining chairman of Microsoft, he's handing over CEO duties to long-time associate Steve Ballmer.
(Ballmer, a college classmate of Gates', is Microsoft's business chief.)
Cynics' translation: He's playing dead . Anti-Microsoft analysts spin the same theory the other way: Gates, having been pulled over by the cops for aggressive driving, is sliding into the "passenger seat" and giving the wheel to Ballmer, whose record is clean, so that the cops will go easy on the company.
