> I just don’t see a reason as to why the board would resign

The golden rule. The people with the gold make the rules, and Microsoft has poured mountains of capital into the company. For their board to make an extremely consequential move like they did without consulting their benefactors was the height of hubris.

Merely being forced to resign would be merciful, I half expect Satya to find some way to have them thrown in prison.

I'm mostly being facetious, but if you have an unlimited budget to throw into a legal war chest for the purpose of making someone's life miserable, you can make someone's life miserable.
