Satya Nadella Added $850B to Microsoft

> The company is the world's strongest supporter of the Linux open source coding system

Also, a gentle reminder that Satya Nadella, as amazing as he might be, is not the sole reason why Microsoft's stock price has gone up.

First: A stock can rise for reasons having zero to do with the reality of the business behind the stock, for example mispricing, availability or the lack thereof of alternative investments, inflation, currency devaluation etc. Second: To me it always leaves a very foul aftertaste when the achievements of a team are ascribed to whoever the visible front-person is. I find it hard to believe that among the other 149999 employees that Microsoft has, there aren't some that deserve to be mentioned in relation to this achievement as much or even more than Satya Nadella does.

Microsoft currently capitalizes on their monopoliy for office software with their new form of cloud monetization. But many users are very discontent.

Well, these days you _can_ run a company without a single Windows machine.

What you cannot do (once you are more than a handful) is to not use any Microsoft cloud services (exchange online, office 365, skype fb, teams, ...) while doing business with other companies.

Satya saw this way before the rest of us.

If you're curious why this run-of-the-mill PR piece is rising on HN, keep in mind that Microsoft (and other FAANG) posts like these are gamed by employees. https://www.kickscondor.com/satya-nadella-'reads''games'-hac...
