I'm not exactly sure who hedge fund manager David Einhorn is, but apparently people with oodles of money are, so when he suggested today that Microsoft should fire CEO Steve Ballmer, it sent the financial blogs all atwitter.

Einhorn thinks CEO Steve Ballmerâs âcontinued presence is the biggest overhang on Microsoft stock,â and he told the audience that he was calling upon Microsoftâs board to fire Ballmer. âHeâs stuck in the past,â said Einhorn.
Einhorn, whose company owns 9.07 million shares of Microsoft stock, accused the Redmond software giant of suffering from "Charlie Brown management."
