Microsoft's new CEO has been chosen, and so has Bill Gates' new role with the company.

In this video from Tuesday's edition of Investor Beat, host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Mike Olsen and Morgan Housel dig into the biggest business stories from Tuesday's market facing Foolish investors today.

Microsoft (MSFT -2.45%) has now appointed its new CEO, 22-year Microsoft veteran Satya Nadella, who replaces outgoing Steve Ballmer to be only the third CEO in the company's nearly 40-year history. Meanwhile, Bill Gates will exit his position as chairman of the board and move to a new role as technology advisor. In the lead story on today's Investor Beat, the guys discuss what initiatives they're hoping to see from Nadella, and why he may have been too conservative a choice for the company to have gone with.
