How can Gates and Ballmer change their minds now without risking the loss of DeVaan and Chase? Both of them seem loyal to Microsoft, but such loyalty goes only so far. I'm not sure they'd be happy to play lieutenants to someone who just two months ago was judged not ready for the task of running the division.

I have not seen any indication that Maffei was judged "not ready for the task". The Seattle Times is reporting that "an announcement on his role may be near." I'd look for MSFT's announcements next week about Internet commerce and their alliance with oneSoft and their new BizTalk server, to include something about Maffei.
