I don't give any credence to the idea that Microsoft under Satya Nadella is the same company as Microsoft under Gates or Ballmer, much less the idea that it is secretly lying in wait to go back to its old, far-less-profitable ways. It has behaved differently. It is making its money differently. It no longer stack-rank fires people. And it is making a whole lot more money doing things this way than it made the way it used to behave.
