Really, who didn't see this one coming a mile away? Or did you actually believe that MS was now some kind of benevolent open source company that meant to do right by their users?
I didn't see it coming a mile away. Satya seemed to be a major departure from Ballmer.
He is. He is PR savvy, knows how to present stuff in a way that it gets lapped up and because Ballmer sucked at this he looks so much better. But Nadella was there during all of the bad tricks that Microsoft pulled, he's as much a part of the old guard as Ballmer was.
His nickname was 'Mr Cloud' for a good reason. Finally got what he wanted.
"Cloud" is apt, for he is the one who brings darkness...
