VMware´s got a new CEO

The VMware board of directors announced today that they appointed Paul Maritz as President and CEO of VMware effective immediately. The community is shocked as well as the investors. The stock crashed more than 30% to its lowest value since the IPO. I personally can´t understand this decision in any way. I got to know Diane Greene at VMworld 2008 in Cannes together with her husband Mendel Rosenblum, they are my absolute personal dream-couple and also dream-leaders of such a great company. And speaking of that, what will Mendel Rosenblum, VMwares chief scientist do now?
