Interesting to see that Scott Guthrie is now getting talked about in the same breath as the MS senior management. His career is on a tear. Hopefully he can continue to help with the turnaround.
Ugh, I sure hope Scott doesn't become an example of the Peter Principle. He strikes me as a very knowledgeable nice guy that wouldn't fare well in management
Scott Guthrie is one of those unicorns who is both highly knowledgeable, very nice personally, and a great manager (I'm not sure why you suggest that he wouldn't fare well in management, but he is already running Azure). I remember a Azure demo day that he led at NEA where he opened a console, created a git repo, wrote a hello world, and deployed it to Azure in ~60 seconds.
