Microsoft seems like it could be a touch better under Satya than under Bill.

I guess the world is so different now that we can't make that comparison fairly. We can try to extrapolate what Bill Gates would do now based on what he did then, but we can't really know for sure.

The reverse is also true. Could Satya navigate the old Microsoft and deliver it as (still) one of the most valuable companies in the world?

But I digress. The point is, maybe Gates would've done just fine if he had chose to do so. Personally, I'm glad for B&M Gates Foundation's role in the world right now, so I'm kind of glad he didn't

even if nadella is an "MBA", he also have a bachelor's in EE and an M.S in computer science.

as much as he's a business guy, it really feels like he's a coder-first.
