As I heard from inside Microsoft they picked an internal candidate, Satya Nadella. Best choice really. No outsider would have lasted a two years without deep knowledge and respect of Microsoft culture. Will be interesting to see how fast Satya learns about the other disciplines he has to manage: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/05/t...gineering-executive-as-new-chief.html?hp&_r=0
I think they realize he needs help in having Bill come out of retirement partially to spend one third of his time at the company. I suspect that will have a larger impact than selection of Satya as CEO.
Sadly, I have no personal experience with Satya. Our paths never crossed while I was there.
