I worked for MS under ballmer and turner. And they are in my opinion definitly, with Gates in the background, the ones that are the reason why the shared have rocketed.

Satya did not invent the "platform wins" strategy. That was long before him. And that's what the company is still capitalizing on.

That's what Microsoft is still the best at. Platform. And tools.

No one comes even close to having the developer experience MS offers. And that plays directly into the platform strategy.

Ballmer was a genius. Straight fact.
