I'd disagree. I think Nadella is more like Gates then Ballmer. When was
the last time you saw Nadella run on the stage chanting and raving like
Ballmer did? :-P

I think we agree but I phrased my remark badly. Nadella is like having an
adult running the company. I'm impressed that he managed to turn the
corporate culture around. Many times the 'new broom' has little effect.

I don't know how much of that is from Nadella's personal background.
Indian business leaders seem to have a more collaborative, longer term
outlook than happens in the US. Ratan Tata was a good example.

I'm skeptical about their AI efforts but at this point I think it's
something they have to do to stay in the game. I do hope the ARM
experiment works out better than the previous attempt.
