Nokia CEO Elop bookies favourite to take on Microsoft CEO Post !!! Stephen Elop is the bookies favourite to take over from Steve Ballmer when he leaves Microsoft next year. Betting firm Ladbrokes has released its odds for the most likely candidates for the Microsoft chief executive job. In at top slot, with narrow odds of only 5/1 is Nokia chief and former Microsoft exec Elop. Coming in a very close second favourite at 6/1 is Kevin Turner, current chief operating officer at Microsoft and former CIO at Wal-Mart, so he could prove a popular choice with the finance team for exploiting workers and driving down wage costs at the supermarket giant. Ex-Microsofter Steve Sinofsky and current VP of devices Julie Larson-Green are both in at 8/1, followed by several other ex- and current Microsoft execs. Founder Bill Gates is an outside shot at only 50/1, even though many in the industry see him as the logical choice.
