We can confirm that Stuart Scott was terminated after an investigation for violation of company policies,a Microsoft representative said in an e-mailed statement. Microsoft said that two executives - General Manager Shahla Aly and Corporate Vice President Alain Crozier - will assume Scott's responsibilities until a replacement is identified. Microsoft declined to comment further on Scott's departure.

In all seriousness, he probably did something that Microsoft really, really doesn't like. At this level of management, executives are usually asked to quietly resign whenever they do something wrong. Microsoft is intentionally trying to ruin this guy's life for some reason -- in firing him, they're trying to warn other corporations not to hire him.
But to be honest did he make any public announcements that he probably shouldnt have made to the public that maybe Microsoft didn't want to be said about quite yet at the time?
Or maybe he was stealing from the company that would piss even Bill Gates off in fact that would piss me off
I'm running Vista and its actually not all that bad, although XP atm is better, Vista still has its perks.
End of.
I like the way they said "We can confirm that Stuart Scott was terminated." Seems a bit, you know, death related.
