- hardware2win 4y agoI think OP meant pure, non tech related MBA

- hef19898 4y agoHow many of those do actually exist? At tech companies in the broadest possible sense?
- spamizbad 4y agoNadella got an engineering degree in India, followed up with a masters in the US - with that Booth MBA coming after he'd worked at Sun and Microsoft as an engineer. Pretty much every "Wow this MBA does a good job of running a tech company!" person has a story similar to this where they trained and worked as an engineer before obtaining their MBA.
- Kon-Peki 4y agoOk fine :) Go read “The HP Way” by Dave Packard. It was standard procedure for HP to hire promising engineers from Flyover State U and take the best and send them to Stanford for an MBA. This worked really, really well. Until it didn’t.
- conductr 4y agoThat was the intent of the MBA, as a supplement to some other core expertise so they could manage the business effectively. Then, MBA's became an entire profession. Many consulting firm MBA's go to business school twice before having any real world experience (undergrad then MBA). I did business school for undergrad and refuse to get an MBA for this reason, I seriously had MBA students sitting in the classes I took as an undergrad.
- zmgsabst 4y agoHas he? I had to maim the Windows Update process to keep it from freezing my computer whenever I tried to use it. Clearly right when the user logs on is the correct time to install updates — pinning the HDD to 100% use and preventing the user from accomplishing their task. After all, Microsoft is more important than the user and their needs come first. …where is the improvement supposed to be?
- Karunamon 4y agoI don't think n=1 software bugs are really relevant to the overall trajectory of the company.
- swagasaurus-rex 4y agoi got some news for you about the quality of windows software
- toast0 4y ago> I had to maim the Windows Update process to keep it from freezing my computer whenever I tried to use it. Windows update for Windows XP got worse than that. It would churn your drive for hours, but not make progress. There was an update to install manually and then you were good. But if you're running Windows 10 off a hard drive, you need to replace it with an SSD. Although, I guess you can probably blame that on Nadella, the mass layoff that included essentially ending the developer-in-test QA program was June 2014, and Nadella became CEO in Feb 2014. IMHO, quality dropped significantly since then, especially quality on hardware developers probably don't have or don't use (like hard drives and Windows Phone)
- maximilianburke 4y agoMicrosoft gets blamed when updates are applied because it makes the system less responsive. Microsoft gets blamed when users don't install updates and their systems get owned. In either case, Microsoft gets blamed.

- dangerboysteve 4y agoHe was an engineer first.
- simonh 4y agoThat's true, but he got a degree in electrical engineering and a masters in computer science first, and picked up the MBA later in his career while at Microsoft. When people complain about MBAs they usually mean people who's primary qualification is an MBA.
- zamalek 4y agoNadella is a terrible MBA.

- Brian_K_White 4y agoHe has an MBA like I have a suit. Sure I have one, a few even. Yet I'm not "a suit".
