Microsoft CEO Nadella's top challenge: Figuring out mobile
Microsoft stands at a crossroads when it comes to mobile. It's now up to new CEO Satya Nadella to shepherd the company in the right direction.
In taking the reins of the technology titan, Nadella faces a lot of questions about Microsoft. Chief among them will be how the technology titan will navigate the broader shift toward mobile, and just what role its Windows Phone and Windows operating systems play in that world.
It's not a new question, but arguably the most important one tied to the ultimate fate of the company. Microsoft, which has its roots in PC software, has been working on a slow -- and at times, awkward -- transition into mobile. Nadella will have to build upon the small progress Microsoft has made so far as it attempts to take on mobile giants Apple and Google.
