Well, not a very happy legacy, is it?



On the news, MS shares were up 9 per cent.








Quote:








Microsoft has announced that chief executive Steve Ballmer will retire within the next 12 months, once it has found a successor.



Mr Ballmer is currently overseeing the transformation of Microsoft into a devices and services company.



He said in a statement: "There is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but now is the right time."



"We need a CEO who will be here longer term for this new direction," Mr Ballmer said.



The world's biggest software company has created a special committee to find a replacement. This committee includes Microsoft founder Bill Gates.



Mr Ballmer, 57, succeeded Mr Gates in 2000.
