On: Microsoft Partner Network changes spark uproar

[LeonB]

When Satya Nadella became CEO Microsoft Azure was four years old.

As old timer insiders said to me prior to that time “You wouldn’t believe just how committed Microsoft is on this. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

(But Satya has made it really work.)

I think the parent is saying that Nadella led the charge into the cloud inside MS under Ballmer, which is a big reason he was considered for the CEO position after Ballmer.

Could be, could be. I hadn’t thought of that.

wasn't Satya part of the Azure platforms from day 1?
