Are you kidding!?!? And so it needs to have an OS that functions in the "consumer" space. They lined everything up to continue growing the phones, but just didn't deliver. They will also see how easy and tempting it is to stay with just one ecosystem. "I did not get why the world needed the third ecosystem in phones, unless we changed the rules." Time is running out, 8 things you can do with Linux that you can't do with MacOS or Windows, The most exciting phones at MWC 2023 (that you likely can't buy), The top satellite phones and gadgets for reliable off-grid communication, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. There were other quarters where the % was higher, but sales were lower. The fact that Google did and Microsoft didn't is, well, rather sad in my view. Ok maybe im a fan boy but if they do release a new lte device what's the problem. And I was told I didn't know what I was talking about when I have repeatedly said this for the past two years. Then throw us a carrot and make Messaging Everywhere work. Once they bought NOKIA, then that project was cancelled by Steve Ballmer. noun I guess I hold a mobile phone and NOT a smart phone in my hand within long when all apps are discontinued. Now is their communication process and the way how they approach consumers ok? Because all of it.every last bit of itis important." all running on a appstore controlled by Microsoft. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shares his thoughts on work from home culture. Now I sit here here in disbelief. - High Margins Nadella Satya charges a premium compare to its competitors. I bought a Zune, loved it! He has steered the company away from a. Microsoft was several years too late to having the Windows 10 Mobile platform even be ready to compete against iOS and Android. Started with an HTC Surround Windows 7 Phone back in 2011, kept that for a few years, then upgraded to Nokia Lumia 920 Windows 8 Phone, Things I liked about Windows 7 and 8 Phones, no worries on viruses or malware, the smooth intergreation with my Desktop, Sadly had to switch to Android in December 2015 as got tired of not having apps that I needed. They stupidly justified every move of Microsoft instead of criticizing it. Then what? - Growing Protectionism - Nadella Satya should hedge the risk against growing protectionism ranging from storing data into international market to diversifying risk by operating into countries at different economic cycle. When the camera started to fail on the Lumia 950 I thought whether I was going to get it fixed (it was out of warranty) or migrate to Android. Why would you want to piss them off? All their stated goals go out the window (pun intended) when they kill off pieces because it discredits their stated goals both internally and externally. It just doesnt have apps. They need to fucus on that as well. So its both WP and Android ? Through that they get OneDrive customers and Microsoft office customers and even earn fine revenue on servers. In his own words, he needed to change the rules of the game. The problem with the thinking by Nadella and company is that they just assume that MS can abandon a platform and its users and developers, and those people will then just circle in a "holding pattern" until the company announces their Next Big Thing. I think MS has decided to maintain a strong footprint in games (XBox, PC) to ensure every so many years there are unique games that go with Xbox releases to differentiate from Sony. Wiith The HP Elite x3 smart phone going to be discontinued and the Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950xl gone what does Microsoft have nothing something is better than nothing. Where is MS's answer to those? The thing that frustrates me the most about this is how the company was so secretive about its vision for Windows on phones; or lack thereof. I haven't seen any apologists here today. I'm almost ready to throw in the towel on Windows Central. Other than that, this company is doomed. However, he didn't think the knowledge he gained was sufficient to develop his abilities and went to the United States to learn computer science. Microsoft has officially jumped the shark. Trying to spin off either product into separate teams or (shudder) businessesis a recipe for chaos. According to Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston , Nadella Satya can use these developments in improving efficiencies, lowering costs, and transforming processes. There is only one near-term way Microsoft could save mobile. I don't see anyone calling Macs a rejected platform. I'm on the Insiders program. Then they get all defensive when the backlash is real. LOL, the only thing worth copying from a Lumia was the camera technology. The party has lasted for more than a decade and rollback from Fed can result in huge interest costs for Nadella Satya. Nadella Satya should just get out of these business areas and focus on strength and threats box , or on weakness and opportunities box. Very few. No such action has been taken so I call BS on MS. "People often ask how it's going," said Nadella. That could go poorly. When Android phonesand Iphones allow docking to a screen and a keyboard on those devices Microsoft Office might not be the first choice either anymore.Edge browser will not be the first choice on an Android phone or an Iphone either. - Strong Balance Sheet and Financial Statement of Nadella Satya can help it to invest in new and diverse projects that can further diversify the revenue stream and increase Return on Sales (RoS) & other metrics. Soooo, back out of mobile which is something that literally people in every corner of the planet use, or need, but jump onto some super-niche, iffy at best crap like VR? In fact, I would say Nadella and the Board are collectively insane. It isn't the guy digging for gold who gets rich, but rather the guy that sells the shovel. I get that MS makes lots of money from providing software and services that only enterprises can buy. The easiest one they could start one with is a surface mini with LTE connectivity and telephone because that will enable them to segway into ultra mobile devices with telephony abilities. All of this is training the customer to realize more and more that they don't need Microsoft and their "ecosystem" anymore How can he NOT see that!?!?! It's very easy to ignore Windows UWP, since Microsoft itselfs it not doing much UWP apps. Could the future hold the possibility that the CPU, RAM and personal data is to be find in the smart phone and that the docking stations holds GPUs, extra hard drives etc. If I am working on let's say Windows Mobile and I know it may be killed, why stay? I think abandoning Windows 10 mobile was a mistake, I realised when I was looking at the AR headsets they just released and I thought "but maybe they will abandon it in a year or two". There's no reason in the world Win 10 phones couldn't compete against iPhone & Android. They also support many microsoft softwares on the Android and IOS. Glad I'm not one of them because after year one he needed to be fired or put back in charge of the cloud department and someone else put in charge!

The Surface division had a rocky start but seems to have recovered after those initial stumbles. To be plain, Nadellas new role is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, jobs in technology. Nor do the actual sales numbers, consistently the demand for Lumias exceeded sales in Asia and Europe, they could have capitalized on it. When Satya Nadella took over as CEO of Microsoft in 2014, he inherited a firm fading toward irrelevance, plagued by internal fights and inertia. According to global executive survey done by Harvard Business Review & Brightline Initiative Only 20% of the strategic targets set by organizations are realized. Verizon sold Icons. Now time to guarantee their devices on point of sale. Google can get into cloud services easily. On consumer devices, the cost of a license is going to have to drop dramatically. No thanks MS. Bye Bye. But it is possible to enforce some sanity in the transition from licensed software tosubscription services. I was going to buy a new Surface Laptop. Opportunities are macro environment factors and developments that Nadella Satya can leverage either to consolidate existing market position or use them for further expansion. So what if it lost money, it would sell like crazy and introduce another touch paradigm the one where we don't go full screen to full screen, where we have acutual WINDOWS we can snap and move. My view is Microsoft have missed the next wave because the platform they have is peripheral to the next wave. Microsoft's annual stockholders meeting, as I recall is November 29, 2017 - 49 days from today - why not speak with a LOUD GLOBAL VOICE! The company earned $39 billion on revenue of $126 billion in .

It's about time Nadella and Microsoft showed some loyalty to us and themselves as well.. Not only will they earn respect but it'll also be a rallying point.. Game of Thrones should have taught the lesson by now, even a ******* can become king, and loyalty is key to that. At least they have Azure MS waited way too long to get serious about the mobile platform. Apps are still an issue on windows. I don't mean this to sound hyperbole, but I'm beginning to think in 10 years or so, MS will be IBM. Nothing is cast in concrete anymore, but that goes in both directions. Meanwhile WP8.1 never filled the promise of true intergration with Windows NT core so it never worked with Windows seemlessly and ironically less so than WP7 did while iPhone always had iTunes desktop for Mac & PC! Now I use a Pixel it doesn't really talk with my PC. Almost a complete rewrite of my app because, even using the components and methods Microsoft recommended, they managed to change everything from user interface to file data access the only thing that still worked was my core logic. But "enterprises" are made up of employees who are also "consumers." So Microsoft is going to fix abandoning consumers doing it again and again and again? Consumers need free or less pricy option. I don't blame Nadella as much as I blame Ballmer. Like many of you, I've defended this platform relentlessly. It wouldn't be that hard for a company with massive cash reseeves to get, what, 150 to 200 top apps and games.

He laid out his vision for . hprbl/ But it should lead the way for its products and services, and Windows Phone is the platform to do just that. The single OS may be from different ecosystems, like Apple of MS but other than that all devices would communicate, access data, and integrate relativly seamlessly.

While 100 million phones sounds impressive, that is over what time span? Plus, with WoA, a true plug-in Continuum experience running traditional Win32 apps in a desktop experience. Windows is famous for still being Windows even on a low end cheap as piece of plastic. WTF??? No amount of money will encourage development, as app development is a recurring cycle between cost, income and relevancy. Right now Microsoft's future technologies are orphaned. IBM does it.

I looked into that and once again it would require rewriting and they wonder why, other than marketshare, developers stayed away they couldn't provide stability. I just got my android phone and my subscription to WPS office. Satya was just the guy that had to make the decision to pull the plug, but WP had been brain dead for a while already.

This brings us to: A huge chunk of the PC market remains on Windows XP. While working full-time at Microsoft, Nadella also earned (1997) a masters degree in business administration from the University of Chicago. That comment deserves an up vote. It helps to feel less foolish and disrespected by MS for their actions towards consumers. Apple gets it, Google gets it, Adobe gets it, and Amazon gets it; but Microsoft misses it.
