Microsoft his week named a new CEO in the person of Satya Nadella, former cloud boss who has been with the company for no less than 22 years.

Analysts across the world applaud Redmond’s decision and claim that Nadella, together with Bill Gates, who’s now a technical advisor for Microsoft, will make a great team that will definitely complete the transition to devices and services.

One analyst firm told Times of India that Nadella was actually “the catalyst” Microsoft needed to adopt a new direction, so big things are expected to happen with the new CEO at the helm of the company.

“Nadella, with undeniable technical credentials as well as a track record of organizational and business success, is well suited to enlist Microsoft personnel in steering the company in a new direction-...Nadella will be the catalyst Microsoft needs to transform from a disparately positioned software company to a cohesive devices and services firm,” analyst firm Technology Business Research was quoted as saying.
