It's probably just not Satya Nadella, but ever since he took the reigns at MS, things have gotten better and better. Of course I may have missed something.

- InclinedPlane 9y agoHe's alright. Mostly it's just the contrast from the previous CEO who was not great for the company.
- chaostheory 9y agoimo It's not just the previous one. Bill is an awesome philanthropist, but I see Steve's reign as a continuation of 'What would Bill do?'.
- InclinedPlane 9y agoBill has some characteristics that hurt being a CEO but he had many that helped, Ballmer lacked most of those. Bill was confident in his authority so he was comfortable with people challenging him, and was willing to give his ego a rest in order to see the bigger picture or make the right decision for the company. Things that Ballmer couldn't do. Ballmer purged the top tier of MS of talented leadership because he saw it as a threat. Ballmer chased after companies in completely different industries (google, apple) because he couldn't stand Microsoft not being top dog in every tech niche, and nearly tanked the company doing so.
- xeeeeeeeeeeenu 9y ago>Of course I may have missed something. Yes, you missed telemetry (which is impossible to disable) and unskippable updates. Nadella's Microsoft is more hostile to their users than ever.
- pc86 9y agoMy how you have forgotten the 90s.
- xeeeeeeeeeeenu 9y agoHostility towards competition != hostility towards users.
