  I hope he does some wizardry and gets Microsoft back on the track. Satya would be remembered forever in history if he makes Microsoft 'the cool company' again. It's a job next to impossible, actually.
  
  Maybe they need to invent a new line of products that will define the next wave of computing.

  I hope Mr. Satya will scrap-out Internet Explorer. That day I will buy MS Windows and Office both. ☕

  LOL. Internet Explorer cannot be removed. Its a crucial system utility. A lot of services will go down. It can be revamped. They need to promote freelancers and developers for their contribution. Make some stuff open source.

  In a letter to the Microsoft employees, as has been the tradition, Mr. Satyanarayana Nadella writes -
  
  

  Who am I?
  
  I am 46. I've been married for 22 years and we have 3 kids. And like anyone else, a lot of what I do and how I think has been shaped by my family and my overall life experiences. Many who know me say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning. I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete. I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things. So family, curiosity and hunger for knowledge all define me.
  
  Why am I here?
  
  I am here for the same reason I think most people join Microsoft — to change the world through technology that empowers people to do amazing things. I know it can sound hyperbolic — and yet it's true. We have done it, we're doing it today, and we are the team that will do it again.
  
  I believe over the next decade computing will become even more ubiquitous and intelligence will become ambient. The coevolution of software and new hardware form factors will intermediate and digitize — many of the things we do and experience in business, life and our world. This will be made possible by an ever-growing network of connected devices, incrediblecomputing capacity from the cloud, insights from big data, and intelligence from machine learning.
  
  This is a software-powered world.
  
  It will better connect us to our friends and families and help us see, express, and share our world in ways never before possible. It will enable businesses to engage customers in more meaningful ways.
  
  I am here because we have unparalleled capability to make an impact.

  The letter is quite big. This is an excerpt that speaks a lot about his views.

  On a related note - I think a big deal is being made out of he being an Indian. I mean - why are Indians excited about Satya becoming MS CEO? He's been in the US for 22 years and is an American.

  Its not only about him being an Indian, of course that is a factor. But he has shown results. Microsoft has the best cloud infrastructure, a division he was heading earlier. Also he is responsible for generating 25% profits alone from his division. When it comes to product and technology collaborative work, Satya has given outputs. No one imagined Hyper-V could give strong competition to linux based cloud and virtualizations. He brought back the charm of Windows servers. A lot of more countless things. Skydrive, Exchange Server etc. So he has the ability to revamp Microsoft. With Bill Gates and Steve Balmer both out, there are going to be a lot of obstacles. Bill Gates it feels as if he is done with Microsoft now.

  I agree, starting from last night news channels in India have started making his appointment as CEO a headline. Calling him Indian-born, Hyderabad based, Manglore University student doesn't hide the fact that is now an American citizen.

  That's the maximum number of Nokia phones I've seen in one place than I've EVER seen in the wild.

  Satya: Geez! I've never been clicked so much. ☕
  Steve: Ah! Good old days! I will miss being in limelight. 😐

  Just curious, in back of Nadella, why those people taking photos, 😨.
  
  
  Gates: I hope, I am not choosing a Marissa Mayer.
  Nadella: If Marissa Mayer can survive, I can do better job 😁
  Balmer: Hell ya, I didn't become another Gates but made loads of money. Job well done 😁

  He'll get fired if he does that. Remember what happened to Vikram Pandit of Citibank!!

  Gets fired for making it successful. Another expample - Steve Jobs. As someone said, success is a bastard and failure is an orphan.
