Stuart L. ScottMicrosoft hired Stuart L. Scott in 2003 and touted him as one of the top CIOs. Today, he was fired. As CIO, he was required to test new technologies, products, and services to ensure the company stayed competitive and on the cutting edge. But here are reasons he was fired:

1. Installing Linux on his laptop.
2. Switching to a Mac.
3. Using Google search engine.
4. Listening to his iPod instead of Zune.
5. Using his iPhone without Windows Mobile.
6. Checking his Gmail instead of Hotmail.
7. Installing Firefox and removing IE.
8. Listening to Steve Jobs' podcasts.
9. Discovering SQL Server is really MySQL.
10. Laughing at Facebook's valuation.
