Believe me; Maritz wasn't pushed out the door and Pat Gelsinger he was not passed over for CEO job at EMC. So to say that Gelsinger is marrying the ugly step sister because he wasn't wanted by Cinderella is complete nonsense. I'd say that he actually has the best job at EMC. VMware is 60%+ of EMCs market cap, its where all the change and innovation will take place at the company. EMC is the infrastructure play and VMware is the application play. VMware an application focused company is where Pat Gelsinger will shine. New apps, new platforms, new management paradigms, new partnerships & alliances this is the dream job for any serious IT executive and Pat Gelsinger will be in product heaven over there.
