I'm not very impressed with the choice of Nadella so far, he seems too deep into MS culture to be able to see clearly.
But only time will tell, it's still to early to give a verdict.
Do you care to explain more why you think he can't see clearly? I'm curious about your reasons for the statement. From my limited outside perspective, these layoffs are a good idea since there's bound to be a lot of redundancy and inefficiently in a company of this size
Based on the letter he recently sent out, it's extremely long considering the intended receiver (everyone), and you need to read it several times before you fully understand it. Which resulted in big newspapers not agreeing how it was to be understood (eg. Was Xbox a core business, or not)
This layoff round was kinda expected.
His writing is shit. Compare his writing to anything from Bezos or Cook.
Most likely he did not write that email himself, that's what assistants are there for.
