I think you're not mistaken with your view.
I see Gates as the reference point and the pioneer: Halloween documents and all that. Strangle market.
Ballmer: Double down on Windows, developers, EEE, tell them as overtly as possible. Strangle people, developers and software.
Nadella: Be soft, be friendly, pin down developer ecosystem, take away what makes Linux magical and embed into Windows ecosystem, make Linux irrelevant so it's not a threat anymore.
They're trying to do the same things in a different manner.
Microsoft is Microsoft. They make great hardware. I pay for Office license, and buy upgrades for family computers, yet I won't lend them my sins for a second.
I'm not one of these guys who hates Microsoft, because it's cool. I was using their keyboards and mice for a long time, and actively recommended them (still do, actually), but when it comes to playing nice with open source, haha, that's not existent. Let's not kid ourselves.
