This is analogous to Xerox experimenting with GUI and not really believing in it. No real drive, no zeal. Satya doubled down on it. Made it priority 1 and most importantly executed it well.
Ballmer's world view was completely different which was more rooted in 90s and early 2000s. He was more of Windows guy and not really seeing the changing trends. That is why MSFT's foray into mobile looked like an after thought.
