Steve Ballmer, the one who has been in charge of Microsoft’s business for 13 years, is leaving the company today as Satya Nadella has been appointed the new CEO of the company.

Of course, Steve Ballmer has decided to send a letter to all company employees, not only to say goodbye, but also to express his support for Nadella, who embarks on a trip supposed to make Microsoft one of the leading tech giants in the world.

In a video posted on Microsoft’s YouTube account, Ballmer explains that Satya Nadella is the best choice for the Redmond-based software giant right now, even though it’s pretty clear that he’s not at all pleased that he has to leave the company.

Ballmer ends the video on an emotional note saying the same thing he told us a few months ago in the last interview as Microsoft CEO: “I love this company!”
