Does it really work like this? I guess executives are poached like the rest of us, but I'd imagine if you decide to take a CEO role, you're more or less committed for a minimum X number of years (say, through some sort of contract) unless the board wants to oust you. Because the CEO role is so public-facing for companies, I imagine they want to keep the turnover to a minimum. Also, I don't think Satya is that revolutionary. His shtick was "Historically, Microsoft hasn't been developer friendly. Consequently, we lost the development community. Let's win them back." It's a wise choice, but it isn't novel in the same way Steve Job's iPhone as a product was novel.
