A comment on Microsoft’s New CEO Needs An Editor.

Whoever wrote this article is a bit delusional. Every CEO letter in Silicon Valley is full of ridiculous cliches and platitudes. Why did the author pick this particular CEO for censure? I can think of only two reasons: 1) Nadella is foreign looking 2) Microsoft is everyone's favorite punching bag.

Have you read some of the communication coming out of Facebook and Salesforce? Jesus, just walk around Facebook's campus and you'll see ridiculous motivational posters that say things like, "DEMAND EXCELLENCE!"

Because the "whoever" who wrote the article is Jean-Louis Gassée, who as an executive of Apple and Be, Inc had half a lifetime of an adversarial relationship with Microsoft.
