When it comes to CEO success, Microsoft doesn't have the pedigree of General Electric where former execs such as David Cote at Honeywell and Jim McNerney at Boeing are doing very well leading their respective companies. Former GE exec Bob Nardelli struggled as CEO of Home Depot, recovered as chief of Chrysler only to step aside to work as an advisor to Cerberus Capital Management, which invested in the automaker. Nardelli then left to run his own investment vehicle.
