Tech is not Microsoft's problem per se. Microsoft has great tech, they are building some great products, and are genuinely getting a lot better at a lot of things pretty fast. They just don't know how to sell to consumers well yet. They haven't had to do that until the last 5-10 years.
J Allard, Ray Ozzie, and the like have the potential to do great things, but honestly CEO of Microsoft is maybe not what they would do best at or enjoy.
Microsoft needs a systems thinker, someone who gets the business side and the tech side, while having the ability to shepherd great products on the consumer side and service the business needs of their huge enterprise customers. That is a ridiculously tall order and I'm not sure that anyone would do an outstanding job with it.
