Yes. Guthrie reports to Nadella, so that would be an overtake maneuver that seems unlikely. But, given that Nadella has all these Scotts (Guthrie, Hanselmann)

Yes. Guthrie reports to Nadella, so that would be an overtake maneuver that seems unlikely. But, given that Nadella has all these Scotts (Guthrie, Hanselmann) working (seemingly) happily for him, I'm hoping he will become the next Microsoft CEO. I saw Nadella present at the Build Conference, he comes across as a nice and intelligent manager, talking vision and doing demo's. The Azure/Developer division that he runs will be a very important part of future for Microsoft, whatever strategy they decide on regarding Windows, XBox, Bing and Devices. His group seems to understand the broader software development community, much more than any other part of Microsoft.
