Nadella and immigrants in general

Also, the top XX schools approach can cut both ways. For govt. hiring purposes (civil service), a B.S from MIT or a no name school are considered the same (as long as they are all ABET or whatever accredited). You can't have two types of standards because govt. managers might use it too to exclude no name school graduates (another kind of discrimination argument).

Take a look around this SuCH forum. There are guys who are busy pulling down Satya because he doesn't belong to their group. If that is the case with us , it is not surprising that they are hostile to foreigners.

I personally think Nadella is a bad choice. MS needs a new mindset, they need somebody who can shake things up. From what I understand from friends who are at MS is that he is a good technologist but not much of a visionary.

Perhaps, MS wanted someone who will be loyal and let Gates and Ballmer run the show with him as a front. Americans might have been a problem. Hence they narrowed it down to 2 Desis - who are known to kowtow any white guy - and decided Satya would be the ideal Manmhoan singh.

Gates directly taking over MS would have sent a wrong message, and this way they achieve the "eal objective" The more I think the more I am believing in this. Say Bill gates comes up with an idea and is Satya going to turn it down ? Of course, he will implement and take the fall if it failed.

Think about it.

Yes. Microsoft needs someone who can lead a cult for those weak-minded cult-head worshiping sheep.

And being the biggest shareholder with most of his wealth tied up in microsoft , all that Gates worries about is someone to take the fall. Doesn't matter if the CEO screws up and his wealth vanishes with the tanking company stock.
Ok. Got it.
