We’ve had no shortage of gossip about Microsoft’s search for its next CEO and the latest comes to us from Bloomberg, which reports that Ford CEO Alan Mulally and Microsoft’s own cloud and enterprise boss Satya Nadella are now the two leading candidates to replace Steve Ballmer. We’ve heard a lot about Mulally in the past but this is the first time we’ve heard Nadella mentioned as a serious finalist so far.
