So Nadella is half as effective as Cook?

More seriously, I shouldn't have put the comparison to Nadella in there at all. They are both great CEOs.

Exactly, Satya Nadella is an awesome leader. Who is to say Tim Cook could have taken all these difficult challenges which MSFT was facing at the time? It's 100% speculation.

Cook probably wouldn't have ever been a good fit for Microsoft. His expertise is in physical products logistics.

Look again. Quarterly vs yearly numbers.

You've missed the point here. This isn't a zero sum game.

Nadella is a great CEO.

Cook is a great CEO.

They've both done a good job running their respective companies. Which is better is endlessly debatable.
