I don't know a lot about Nadella, but he seems like a huge leap away from Ballmer. Indian cricketeer who hustles but at least looks like a nice guy...Could be hugely positive for them. Pretty cool. I, personally, want Microsoft to succeed. Not so I can go back to a Windows computer (neverrrr) but so I can buy whatever they create after Windows.

Sincerely I feel like buying some MSFT stock, first time in a decade. Replacing Steve Jobs would be much tougher assignment. Don't forget to deactivate Ballmer's badge and get some fresh air into the boardrooms :)

Ballmer is staying.
