Since August 2013, when Steve Ballmer announced his plans to step down as CEO, the company has done a lot of things that the old Microsoft never would have dreamed of.
It's given products and source code away for free, moved fast to release a bunch of new products, and began to dismantle a toxic culture that grew up over the last decade.
Most important, Microsoft has accepted the reality that Windows no longer rules the world.
Wall Street seems to be pleased with the changes, which started in Ballmer's last few months and have accelerated dramatically under new CEO Satya Nadella - the stock is up 53% since Ballmer said he'd step down.
