Satya is the best CEO in tech and it isnt even close

Honest question, why is he the best CEO?

>>BSDobe+N7
I will never forget something I read in his "Hit Refresh" book(I'm Microsoft employee)... He wrote something along the lines, Office should write best app for iPhone, Mac or even Linux if that helps them grow. They should not help Windows sell Windows copies by doing better Office features on Windows, it is up to Windows team to make Windows best operating system, it should not rely and keep back Office team... This makes Windows and Office better, because it allows Office to be free and do what they need to grow, and it forces Windows to improve OS and not rely on others... Just one example where CEO can help teams grow...

It's not like MS could do any other thing after being wiped out of the smartphone market. Locking Office to Windows in an age where virtually everybody is using a smartphone or a tablet with either Android or iOS is useless. The situation of Office in either Mac or Linux never improved, it just got turned into a cloud service like almost any other software suite and tried to cash in the legacy name to compete with Google Docs and Zoho. I don't really see any brilliant move there.
