Yeah, I'm a bit confused - it seems like MS has just continued to do what they had already started doing before Nadella took over. For example, their cloud computing offering was released in 2010.

But bear in mind that anyone can have a cloud-computing initiative. Hewlett Packard Enterprises has one. Executing well and building momentum in the face of AWS is the hard part. If Microsoft is making headway, that's interesting.

IIRC Satya was in charge of Azure in 2010, which is a large part of why he got the top job.

Yeah, Ballmer is responsible for the 2001 tech crash!

I could overlay Apple vs. Microsoft from 2001 but you won't like that graph...

Success and failure can and should be measured relative to other related companies in the same industry.
