When asked last month what kinds of gadget gifts he would be getting for Christmas, Microsoft Corp.’s Satya Nadella, said to be the board’s pick for chief executive officer, had an easy answer: Microsoft devices.
Nadella, 46, in an interview at a technology conference in Paris, said he had already gotten a new Xbox One game console for his children that he uses to watch movies through Netflix Inc. The India-born executive said he also has a phone made by Nokia Oyj -- a business that Microsoft is buying -- with a 41 megapixel camera.
