Nadella is a puppet as long as Gates and Ballmer on on the board of directors. And I'm not sure Bill would have allowed a true renegade to take over the CEO position anyway.

Instead, I recommend that drugs be tested on Pharmaceutical company CEOs. I liked it so much, I bought the company. Or the farm.
