Satya Nadella At Six Months: Grading Microsoft's New CEO

snydeq writes The future emerging for Microsoft under Nadella is a mixed bag of hope and turmoil, writes Woody Leonhard in his review of Nadella's first fix months at the helm of Microsoft. "When Nadella took over, Microsoft was mired in the aftermath of a lengthy and ultimately unpopular reign by longtime CEO — and Microsoft majority shareholder — Steve Ballmer. Given the constraint of that checkered past, some might argue that Nadella hasn't had enough time to make his imprint on every aspect of Microsoft. Yet there have been many changes already under Nadella's watch, and patterns are certainly emerging as to the kind of company Microsoft will be in the years ahead." Leadership, product lines, financials — Nadella's scorecard shows strong strategic leadership, particularly around the cloud, but Windows and devices are murky at best, with Microsoft employees "taking it in the shorts, and not only in Finland."

    Is there anybody out there even pretending to pay attention to anything?

    Our economy is truly a disaster. Welfare use up. Unemployment up. Crime up. We are literally being invaded by foreign nation states. I could go on and on about the real things that our government should be doing to benefit our society and our liberties.

    But what do they actually do? Not just nothing, hell, if they would just do nothing we would be in pretty good shape.

    They are working against us in every concievable way! Sin taxes on fucking SUGAR! This is the priority?

    Good fucking god people, wake the FUCK UP!

    We are being driven to ruin by the very people that the founders clearly knew we would have to face, and the very reason the BOR was created to protect against.

    If they fail to do the constitutional duties that we all know they should be doing, PROTECT THE BORDER is job number 1, then they should all be removed from office, every dammned one of them.

    No, ingoring border security is not enough! They are actuallly bringing Ebola patients in! And they stand around lecturing us about FUCKING SUGAR IN OUR DRINKS!

    These fucks make Atlas Shrugged look like it was a documentary.

    Oh yes, it was, I forgot, she wasn't writing about things she thought might happen, she was telling us what she saw happen in Russia and was waring us that it would happen here. Who the fuck knew that?

    Hey you assholes, why don't you wake up from your Tumbler videos of the Kardashains asses or whatever the fuck it is and consider, just for the sake of fucking argument, for five fucking seconds, that Rand was actually spot on right in that book, and where that put you and your future? Huh? Do you even have the capacity to think that far out? Go on then you socialist scumbag fucksticks, take off your I Hate Bush T-Shirts for five seconds and wake up to the real world.

    You are being lied to.

    Hey look!
