> Today is a very humbling day for me.
When I read that I knew this guy would fail as MS CEO. It's a proper jungle out there and a humble Indian guy will be eaten alive by the aggressive confident westerners.

He didn't become CEO because he played it nice. I'm sure he's been as aggressive and mean when he's needed to be to advance himself and his work.
It's humbling because out of the many many top candidates he got the job. It's humbling to be considered at that level among your peers and be picked.
I would venture to say that he mixes the best of east indian tradition and western tradition.
The board is filled with very capable people, especially John W. Thompson. He was the CEO of Symantec and took that company from its early beginnings to a major player.
Time will tell if this was a right pick for CEO but I believe that most will be very happy with the choice as its a good contrast to what Steve Ballmer was.
