Via Mary Jo Foley at Microsoft Watch , Microsoft has concluded their search to replace Doug Burgum as the head of MBS (is it still technically MBS?) and selected Satya Nadella, currently the corporate VP of MBS.
This isn't a huge surprise given how long they've been looking without coming up with anyone. Remember, they started this search in November of 2005.
Doug's not going away, he remains in the new chairman role and Satya doesn't officially move up until 6/30/07.
My initial post on Doug leaving was here. I've softened a bit on Burgum after his last Convergence keynote but I still think a change is needed.
So what about Nadella? I like what little I've seen. He gets blogs, sort of. He has one at http://blogs.msdn.com/satyanadella/ but his posts are pretty infrequent. You'll see more as Convergence approaches next year. Perhaps we'll get more blogging out of the GP team as things move forward. In the mean time, congratulations Satya!
