Steven Sinofsky, who led the development of the criticised Windows 8 operating system before leaving Microsoft last November, has been given shares worth $14m.史蒂文辛诺夫斯基(Steven Sinofsky)将取得价值1400万美元的微软公司(Microsoft)股票。在去年11月离开了微软公司之前，辛诺夫斯基领导了倍受抨击的Windows 8操作系统的研发。The former executive will receive all of his unvested stock awards granted in June 2012, and half of the possible shares for his performance in the following fiscal year, Microsoft said in a regulatory filing.微软公司在一份监管申报文件中回应，这位前任高管将取得2012年6月颁发他的全部并未归属于股票奖励，以及他在下一财政年度中有可能因绩效出众取得的半数并未归属于股票奖励。

In the first nine months of the 2013 fiscal year, Microsoft’s operating income declined 4per cent, although its share price rose 13per cent.在2013财年的前9个月，微软公司的营运利润上升了4%，尽管其股价下跌13%。In total, Mr Sinofsky will receive 418,361 shares, worth $14.2m at yesterday’s share price. Their actual value will depend on the prevailing market price at the time of vesting, which will occur between now and August 2016.辛诺夫斯基总计将取得418361股微软公司股票，按照昨日的股价计算出来价值1420万美元。这些股票的实际价值将各不相同其在归属于时点的市场价格，归属于期从现在开始直到2016年8月。

As part of the settlement, Mr Sinofsky has agreed not to disparage Microsoft or accept employment at certain competitors.作为妥协方案的一部分，辛诺夫斯基表示同意不抨击微软公司，或拒绝接受某些竞争对手获取的工作机会。The abrupt departure of Mr Sinofsky – seen as meticulous, tough and ambitious – was attributed by some observers to a power battle with Steve Ballmer, Microsoft chief executive.辛诺夫斯基的忽然辞职——他给人的印象是一丝不苟、严苛和雄心勃勃——被某些观察家指出是他与微软公司首席执行官史蒂夫鲍尔默(Steve Ballmer)之间权力斗争的结果。Mr Ballmer subsequently said Mr Sinofsky had “made one of the most amazing contributions that anybody will ever make at any company”.鲍尔默后来回应，辛诺夫斯基“对微软公司作出了任何人在任何公司需要作出的尤为神秘的贡献”。

Windows 8 has drawn criticism for the lack of third-party apps available on it, and for its radical redesign of the Windows interface that initially did away with the familiar “Start” button.Windows 8受到抨击主要是因为缺少能用的第三方应用于，以及对于Windows用户界面的大幅度改动。再版Windows 8界面中止了用户熟知的“开始”按钮。
