having thought about it for 3.5 seconds now, my new scorchingest take is that Ballmer's Microsoft is underappreciated for having set down such a good technical foundation for Nadella's Microsoft to make every single available misstep and still be the market leader in almost all of their core segments

Is the surface of Windows 11 riddled with nearly every possible bad idea MS can have made for the vast majority of the people who need to actually put their eyeballs on it day in and day out?
Yes.
Is the core of the OS still actually pretty good? Also yes.

I'm being a little un-nuanced for sure.
To Nadella's credit, Ballmer-era MS had some misses too, especially w/re Windows RT (and the half-executed vision of windows 8 entirely) and reallocating the MacBU team to mobile before Nadella finally returned them for 2016
And Nadella had a few wins, like the office shared core thing that happened at some point after office 2016.
