New CEO Signals a Shift for Microsoft

Seattle Times technology columnist Brier Dudley says appointing Satya Nadella as the new CEO of Microsoft signals a shift for the company. He says Microsoft has a better chance of winning over developers by replacing its business-oriented boss with an engineer who worked his way up from the trenches. Nadella is an especially good choice, Dudley writes, because he stood out by working on “do-or-die projects” where Microsoft was the underdog.
