It's official, Nat Friedman, formerly of Xamarin, is the new CEO:

MS is basically selling a story to Wall Street, "Everything new 
we tried since Windows and Office has failed abysmally, so we've 
learned our lesson and will be the business software company from 
now on," hence buying LinkedIn, pushing Azure, and now buying 
Github. I don't expect this new management direction to go any 
better.
