Not really accurate, he’s a far better CEO, compared to Tim Cook, Jassy and especially compared to Sundar Pichai who for all intents and purposes is running Alphabet down into the ground. He made Microsoft relevant again using strategy (as opposed to autopilot like Appple).


It’s funny that you chose to compare him to those CEOs in particular, seeing as to how they all inherited great business that were seemingly on autopilot.

All of these companies were poised to explode in value as they have in the last few years. Somehow you’re singling out Satya as being responsible for Microsoft’s growth yet dismissing the other CEOs - not sure why you’re so passionate about defending him, though of course you’re entitled to your opinion.

If anything Tim Cook has done the better job all out of all of them.


Sathya since taking over pivoted Microsoft’s strategy in a fundamental way that no other CEO did. I mean Tim Cook did to some extent firing Ive and all, but they still sell iPhones to people.

Microsoft embraced open source and the cloud when its original profits from the opposite of those two.


Alright bro, you win. If you think Apple still makes all its money from iPhones, all good.
