Bosses scared that employees slack off while WFH: Satya Nadella I think we will see the opposite now that mobile is king. I think this is one of the best options MS has if it wants to come back in the mobile space. When he took the helm in 2014, he noted a critical company weakness: Microsoft didn't know how to social. Then throw us a carrot and make Messaging Everywhere work. I thought that they knew that mobile is a key sector that they need to conquer by any means. Apple gets it, Google gets it, Adobe gets it, and Amazon gets it; but Microsoft misses it.

The rise was based on hopes that the underlying technology will live up to the prediction by Satya Nadella, the company's CEO, that it would "reshape pretty much every software category that we know." . I have been a windows mobile / phone user for a many years. It seems entertainment and software are what Microsoft can handle (and precariously, at best, if you consider their bungled XBOX messaging over the years). Their image is so strong that people want it blindly and make no mistake it will come truth in years to come (20 perhaps). Managing desktop and server and client access licenses is enough to make even the most diligent accountant break into a cold sweat and grab his security blanket. Having bought and ditched Nokia, I think MSFT's strategy was clear. I had one for grarage band, but I could not stand OSX. WP7 was the transition from Windows mobile and kept all of it's functionality in a touch environment similar to WM 6.5. "We didn't get networks," he said. What "unlock shareholder. The dual SIM system is great for when I travel it allows me to separate which contact I call on which SIM. A big mistake. Now given the fact that the future of computing for the masses is mobile I do not see Microsoft dropping that at all but rather trying to change the approach to mobile for the next generation of computing. If I ever make the switch to another phone, I will share that, but I'm one tough customer to get to change over from something I bought for a reason and I don't see that reason in another product. When MS failed to do anything to keep me as a customer, I finally switched to Apple (after resisting for years). Removing such items from the list of devices, that can be the vehicle for the future developments, will hurt the overall reception to anything MS is attempting to achieve. IBM does it.

Nadella is a cloud guy, which is the strong growth future for Microsoft. It will go a long, long way. > If you feel that you've constantly let consumers down (which actually you have).

But then Microsoft came back to say "where shutting this service down - sorry about your DRM-laden purchases, bye now" and you said "well, I guess loving someone never means you have to say your sorry". Considering phones are what will power VR/AR, especially as they get more and more powerful, the desktop is not where mixed reality will reside in the long term, so Microsoft has set itself up for failure there as well. That's ok though. Apple and Google leak like seives and MS know they keep their cache with the big reveals. Just give people the option. Microsoft's CEO wrote for Fast Company about a quote from philosopher Sren Kierkegaard that . Again, this is one of the bestarticles I read from you.

Were already seeingsigns ofcommon sensein Office 365, wheresubscriber-based models are so much cleaner than the messy Office + Exchange on-premises licensing story. It is so hard to watch Microsoft go down this path, the only redemption for this fanbase is a hero product in spring, I used to hold my breath for that stuff, not any more. I chose to go with a Nokia 6 (running pure Android 7.1.1) and use Microsoft apps on it. Payments is a good example. Enterprise is everything. An original Xbox, 5 different Xbox 360's(red ring of death on two of them(! When my 950 dies or I'm clearly missing out on the coolest phone features, I'll move over to Google and say goodbye toone OneDrive etc. Jason, did you sign an NDA with MS? 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. In Europe Nokia was doing much better than in the US. Look at how both the Surface Book and the Surface Studio took the vast majority of sources by surprise and the Surface Laptop only leak the day or two before announcement.

Unless Microsoft also got more into the hardware like Apple, then it would be a real big market. I already sell my HP elite x3, but I still using windows phone 10 with my ex Lumia 930. It'll have to be an Android as the one-button design of iOS makes me want to throw it against a wall but I also know the parts of Android that I don't care for and I'm not looking forward to tweaking it in an attempt to give me the exact experience I want. You just don't understand the difference between the 'patent' and 'operating system'.

Whether or not Microsoft want to admit it was their own decision to give up when in fact they had a growing market with thanks to the Nokia team. It's very easy to ignore Windows UWP, since Microsoft itselfs it not doing much UWP apps. MS has to get into mobile to stay relevant - even with business WP had no developer to speak of and there was 0% chance of it ever challenging Android oriOS.

With the way they treated windows mobile and developers, it is going to be a real problem when (or if) they actually release this "andromeda" thing. In my experience because too many didn't even realise it existed due to a total lack of marketing. Still, this remains the dumbest decision that I believe MIcrosoft has made. I stand by that. The people who run HDM were the same people within NOKIA and tried to push the company to make those X platform android devices. The list goes on. ITS A VERY BIIIIIIIGGGGG MISTAKE!!! Profits in the short term will improve, but viability of their technology will be replaced as customers seek other alternatives. I am with the Windows ecosystem because that is what my desktops and laptops are. MIcrosoft should keep W10M alive until it can upstage it to something better. Apple is an amazing system for user interface . I was a fan of MS but the end of windows phone and the end of groove music is the end for me, MS have a story of letting people down, and I cannot make a come back to them in any future, they lose me for ever android central, here I come lol.

In my opinion, cancelling phones was bad decision which will lead to the downfall of MS. As Windows XP ages, it holds off future PC purchases and makes companies that use it less secure. Just once. NOKIA X was by NOKIA and not Microsoft. You won that battle because of the staple applications of Word & Excel, things people use everyday (like mobile phones of today), was a market you got into very early and stuck it out.
Microsoft's Satya Nadella speaks out on employee well-being as workdays And, given that Stephen Elop was tipped as a leading CEO candidate, some could be unhappy that their guy did not win.

They are Personal Computers that happen to make phone calls. Microsoft was several years too late to having the Windows 10 Mobile platform even be ready to compete against iOS and Android. Or that employees/consumers with Android or Apple phones are going to adopt MS's AI, MR, Cortana, Edge, etc., etc. PC? The co - founder of Microsoft - Mr. Bill Gates was the mentor of Satya Nadella. Microsoft is no longer the giant it used to be, and apparently is digging its own grave. WP never had significant market share. In hindsight, I'm convinced it was doomed from the beginning.

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. But I do think it would help for microsoft to look broadly at the extensive feedback, and get the back log of insider feedback going. Microsoft has been strident in the past in stating that it intends to have strong margins on the Surface line of products. Why even would they drop the already established product? that Microsoft would fill in the mobile device space. Do you even marketing bro? Speaking of, how's that Kinect doing? How about that time Microsoft took you out to than new club called Microsoft Music -you were dazzled by the iTunes competitor and so, why not invest in a few songs. I moved to Android after sitting tight with Windows Phone/Mobile through the 920, 930 and 950XL being pulled along solely by promises of "things to come". And so it needs to have an OS that functions in the "consumer" space. Now, even tho I like Windows 10 (desktop), i'm done.

Jason Ward's influential writing might just be the snap of the fingerMicrosoft need to wake up out of the anti consumer mobilestate of consciousness. He obviously had a plan and in hindsight not a good one. I mean seriously how hard would it have been for them to fork Android into a WP like looking OS. How many toy manufactures, production companies (film/tv), IoT, lifestyle (airport/bank/taxi/fast food etc) have an app/game. MS didn't have the foresight to see that they didn't have to sell the OS to monetize it. There should be no tears shed for a company that does not need the consumers! I hope Nadella has jotted down a note to himself: Do not attempt to re-create Ballmer developers video. If the Kin would've been a success, things might have turned out differently. Even my 85 year old mom relies on mobile and MS turns it back. Green mushroom for you windows mobile fanatic. It matters to consumers, to developers and to windows while ecosystem. Almost all Developers cater to consumers because that is the largest growth market for trends and 15-minute fame apps. That comment deserves an up vote. Never again !

Perhaps if Microsoft developed more apps that worked more like the windows version which has tabs directly linking to NSN, Office Online and Outlook.com it would relieve some of the loss of Windows phones. On consumer devices, the cost of a license is going to have to drop dramatically. Very cheap, but fun to use! This adds one more reason why Microsoft struggles in consumers market. It has experimented in various areas Leadership, Organizational culture. I supported MS since before windows 7 but since Nadela took over I have seen them fail to support consumers. Which is what it looked like they were doing and what HP was doing. Ok, Jason. This is the guy who wrote Nutella was a genius. Xbox will be spun off as a self governed entity and Windows/Office is already bordering on non relevant seeing as most people today, and I'm talking about real people, not you or me, get along just fine with an iPad or Android tablet. You'll have a complete phone with you. - First Mover Advantage Nadella Satya has first mover advantage in number of segments. I like the platform because it does what I need it to do. If that's not true, and they are actually trying to save Windows, then I agree, they are making a mistake.

SWOT Analysis stands for - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that Nadella Satya encounters both internally and in macro environment that it operates in. Many people wish for single product / service which perfectly blends there all needs. I wouldn't call it useless. This was the straw that broke the camel's back and I very much doubt they'll be relevant at all, in the consumer space, in a few years time. Just because any phone has a big screen with a high res it does not mean it copied a Lumia! Nadella has said from the get go that Microsoft is committed to mobile. Yeah, this will hurt them. Sounds to me like Mocrosoft are not a company to invest in, either by buying their kit or shares. I agree with your comment, but here we both are in other ecosystems still reading W10 mobile news lol Hard habit to break. What was left was probably fixable to an extent. Now, MS is no longer a inovative company.
