You have to read those blog comments with a grain of salt though.
Most of the commenters appear to be very unhappy employees. And some of them are obvious trolls who have never worked at MS but pretend to.
" Why do we need to pay $1M+ (with benefits) to a VP in Finance, Purchasing, Customer Service and IT? These services are available for 1/100th of the cost."
A comment from that article that proves your points.
Anything in particular? That seems like damnation by faint praise as far as I was willing to read.
Re:A Microsoft Without Sinofsky?

It's a blog frequented by employees (albeit mostly disgruntled ones).
Most enlightening comment to me:
"I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the EU mess yet. Sinofski was given responsibility by the board for ensuring that MS stayed compliant with the agreement regarding browser choice in Windows. Now, MS is facing a possible 10 BILLION dollar enema by the EU because Sinofski couldn't be bothered by something as trivial as a check box in Windows."
edit: uh, sorry, this isn't meant as any sort of commentary other than "Hey, if you don't normally look at the comments, I think you're meant to on this one." :/
