Satya Nadella to be Microsoft’s CEO, Gates steps down as Chairman says Bloomberg

All this CEO hunt for Microsoft has turned into quite the soap opera, but recent claims from Bloomberg follow on the recent news that we heard yesterday. It seems that Microsoft’s board has reached a decision, or should we say a couple of decisions, and these are quite dramatic. First of all, Bloomberb points to Satya Nadella as the Microsoft’s next CEO. Nadella has been in Microsoft for 20 years, has been heavily involved in products like Office and Bing, and is currently focused more on Microsoft’s consumer products and also its cloud computing business. Now one of the ...

Microsoft, we want Bill Gates!

We all know that Bill Gates is happy where he is, and doesn’t want to return to Microsoft as a CEO. He’s publicly stated it repeatedly, and that has been a fact for a little over a decade. Still, every time I go through Microsoft’s current situation, I can’t deny how much of a déjà vu this is to the story of one of Microsoft’s closest rivals. Larry Ellison was recently in the spotlight because of his comments regarding Apple’s leadership. The now billionaire CEO that created Oracle and that made it what it is, was also Steve Jobs’ best friend. In ...
