    I don’t understand why shareholders keep this guy’s CEO he’s absolutely terrible at his job. They need to go back to having an actual engineer as CEO, someone who understands what the hell is going on and doesn’t keep getting distracted by the next shiny bauble.

      What are you talking about? Under this guy’s tenure the MSFT share price skyrocketed. What else would shareholders care about? He’s doing an excellent job, as far as they’re concerned.

        Is he?

        No one is buying the Xbox, quite possibly because no one can tell if it’s a new generation or not. I don’t think any AI company has yet posted a profit. Market share for Linux has increased in the last 2 years and most of that is from people moving away from Windows.

          Their business is B2B now. Nadella is focused on that, gaming is a nice side business to him, and the home user wasn’t profitable enough to care about keeping.

          Right now my fortune 500 employer is all in on Microsoft, they pay for around 200,000 Microsoft business licenses and about 2/3’s of those PCs also have a 365 business license, plus they have Microsoft servers with their own individual licenses in every state and almost every country. And that’s just one company, think about how many companies are all in on Microsoft and you can see why B2B is what he cares about.

            That and mass surveillance such as with Palestine and Microslop’s Azure used by Israel to obscure individual culpability in deciding who to murder next.
