微软首席执行官，不管是谁

为了挑选下一任领导人，总部设在加利福尼亚州红木城的微软（Microsoft）已经花了相当长的时间，由此可以看出这位首席执行官将要面对的挑战。简而言之，新一任CEO必须想办法弥补近十年来微软和谷歌（Google）以及苹果公司（Apple）之间的差距。他/她到底需要关注哪些领域？智能手机、平板电脑、网络搜索技术、云计算、可穿戴技术以及在线广告，不一而足。（财富中文网）

Whoever takes over at Microsoft

The considerable time Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) is taking to choose its next leader reflects the challenges he or she will face. Simply put, the new CEO must find a way to make up for the decade or so the Redwood, Calif.-based company lost to Google and Apple. A few areas of focus? Smartphones, tablets, web search technology, cloud computing, wearable technology, and online advertising.
