If it wasn’t for Bill Gates, most homes wouldn’t have been able to experience the luxury of computers and laptops. Steve Ballmer is officially off the board, and Satya Nadella is eagerly expected to step in and run the Microsoft his way.

Microsoft (MSFT), the creator of Windows, has quite the pool of shares in market and has a large role to play in the everyday fluctuations. With the talk about a new CEO, Satya Nadella, what does Microsoft plan to do? Let’s take a look!

Nadella the next CEO

With Steve Ballmer stepping out, the CEO position is soon to be out for grabs. Debates are on fire to decide to whom the title of CEO belongs and looks like the arrow is now pointing in the direction of Satya Nadella. On the other hand, discussions are going on to replace Chairman Bill Gates. Satya Nadella is the cloud chief and it looks possible since tech visionary is whom the company is in search for right now and Satya Nadella seems to fit the profile right. The shares have been seeing a good climb in the past few days, despite all the chaos back stage.

Relief Rally:

With the issue coming to a close down, the shares are expected to heave a sigh of relief simply because of the closure, irrespective of the outcome. Satya Nadella who is already the CEO of Microsoft’s server business appears to be the internal candidate alongside Alan Mulally and Hans Vestbergs. Overall, the shares of Microsoft are up by a reasonable 1.2%.

Microsoft to overtake Apple?

Thanks to Google’s land grab strategy, the android market has the ‘most popular’ in bag. But, with the Windows Phones increasing in demand, they are catching up with the race. About 9.5 million windows phone were shipped to IDC. This growth is about 156% that of the number during last year. On the other hand, Apple Smartphone has taken a steep fall from 14.4% to 12.9$. If this keeps up, Microsoft will be able to take over the Apple within a period of 3 years. This term is predicted by Mark Fidelman, a Forbes contributor. Along with this news, the fact that Satya Nadella is expected to replace the CEO will have a positive impact on the growth of the Microsoft shares.

Whoever be the CEO, Satya Nadella or an outsider, Microsoft is ready for a change of leadership and this year will mark the start of something new and fresh.

Microsoft (MSFT), the King of PC world is the talk of the day with a new CEO crowned. Over the years, the company has seen three CEOs, but quality with dynamic user experience has always been its top priority. The question now is- what does Satya Nadella have in store for the Windows fans? With his background on cloud, shares are all ready to respond in high notes.

It all started four decades ago when Bill Gates dropped out of the Harvard University and along with Paul Allen, found Microsoft that lay the foundation for a revolutionary PC world. In 1986, Microsoft went public with shares trading at $21 per share, rising close to $60 million. It has been a while, but the company still remains fresh and consumer loving as always. It is not easy to stand against Google’s Smartphone in this era and Microsoft has not just stood by the competition, but has survived, giving us enough reasons to trust in its upcoming decisions.

Nadella’s Promise

‘Mobile-first, cloud-first’. These were Nadella’s exact words what he plans on doing next as CEO of Microsoft. Nadella who is an expert on clouds is the right choice for what Microsoft needs right now, which is focus on mobile. Quoting his words, he pointed that industry respects innovation and not tradition. Elaborating on his statement of mobile first, cloud first statement, he said that mobiles are managed by companies and owned by consumers. They plan on providing both the set of tools. Microsoft can now look forward to better days at the share market with mobile phones as their area of attention.

Foursquare

Microsoft is showing interest in Foursquare and is currently planning to invest about $15 million. The investment is targeted to make sure that business sustains at Foursquare, while giving Microsoft access to location based data collection. This move shows that Microsoft is making steps to integrate Foursquare data directly into the Windows Phone and Windows to get in line with Apple and Google with the location potential. This might be Microsoft’s strategy to implement some intuitive ideas in mobile expansion.

The shares have reacted well to the news of new CEO in the morning, with a positive up by 1.7%. On the other hand, Bill Gates is stepping down as chairman and is said to join the board as ‘Founder and Technology Advisor’. Whatever be the change, one thing is for sure, we can await the return of Microsoft stronger and better than ever!
