To be fair to Satya, every leader should be judged on what they do not what they say. This isn't a Microsoft or Satya problem, pick a large corporstion and you'll find examples of this behavior everywhere.
Words in an email hold absolutely no weight, when leaders choose to trade security for something else that's all employees need to know.
In particular when you need to answer to shareholders and can be voted out of your position/company. I don't pretend that Microsoft's past hasn't been an issue, but if we compare the past to present, Satya has had somewhat of a positive impact (although know there's a lot behind the scenes that I'll never know about, as well as most). It's good to be critical of every company, otherwise the end users get rolled over.
