No big deal. The really really sad thing is that for a while ago, I was still defending for W10M and truly believed that MS had something cool they are working on. There are things I found on my 928 8.1 phone that my 950 W10M still cannot do? At this point, you could say Microsoft is autistic from time to time. At the time of his promotion, he was leading Cloud, one of the most important core businesses MS was venturing into. While such a device MIGHT appeal to business, no consumer is interested in running Win32 stuff on an 8 touch screen. Now the global perception about the company has reached the lowest level.

They cancelled their entire European release and gave up. Windows Phone was the middle ground between the jungle of inconsistency and trouble that was - and still is - Android, and the pretentious, fake shiny, limited walled garden of Apple. The piece that Microsoft bought isnt much better. But I've seen it time and time again in previous articles. Because a tech company in 2017 without a mobile presence is not a tech company worth talking about. They are still abandoning consumers, see Groove Music Pass. 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 terms of achieving more successful innovation and bringing further improvement in the organizational growth, the business environment at Microsoft should be reviewed to determine the strengths and weaknesses. Right now the average Joe might see AI as Siri, Google now, and Alexa. I hate Apple with a passion but even I am starting to think about throwing in the towel on Microsoft. Does MS really think that Google and Apple are going to let it provide the cutting edge apps and services on their OS? It's a shame. At one time, several years,ago, I read that Gartner or a large research firm "projected" that Windows Mobile would PASS Apple for #2 !!! Windows 10 mobile finally intergrated with all of it's relative platforms through cloud syncing making it a hybrid of sorts between iPhone and Android, allowing an ideal environment for users to exist in a multiplatform ecosystem. Microsoft has been strident in the past in stating that it intends to have strong margins on the Surface line of products. They dabbled in PCs for a few years, but then got out. Nadella is a strong CEO pick, but his job will be industrial strength. the corporate policy has always been if we don't own the code we won't let you play on our devices. and programs from a small cell phone can run on a bigger monitor through "continuum" software.

Satya cuddling with baby Zain. You arejust wrong. Good, but completely and utterly useless, worth a poofteenth of nothing unless you actually demonstrate you've learned your lesson by acting to correct your mistake. That's why I am sure Nadella is not making a "mistake" in his mind. In Europe Nokia was doing much better than in the US. - Implementation of Technology in Processes Even though Nadella Satya has integrated technology in the backend processes it has still not able to harness the power of technology in the front end processes. Nhu Tran February 10, 2023 Satya Nadella at Microsoft Case Study 1.

I know several people who bought Windows phones simply because they were Nokia's - now they've all been forced to move to Android and looking at their Facebook statuses it's clear that while they get along fine with Android they REALLY miss their windows devices. What software do you use for music recording? no. Hell, I can buy this to my parents, because they do only common stuff on it Which is what it looked like they were doing and what HP was doing. Those are very different things, actually they have nothing in common. Any software company THIS bad at software, why in the hell would I trust their Hardware. WP is not OneCore so RIP WP, as announced. What's the issue and im genuinely asking? But to do that they better get busy. I don't know why they seem concerned about our comments in the Windows Phone Platform, but do nothing to fix what we share.

Microsoft, you used to plant the tree. Strengths come from positive aspects of five key resources & capabilities - physical resources such as land, building, financial resources, past experiences and successes, human resources, and activities & processes . Let the more committed companies lead the world into the future! Thank you, Brett. 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. Windows is famous for still being Windows even on a low end cheap as piece of plastic. Still, no amount of wishful thinking was going to save the platform. 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. The only thing he could have done at that point was to discount hardware, but after the billion dollar Surface RT write-off he would have been crucified if Microsoft had to undertake what basically would have been another write off to discount hardware (i.e. According to Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston of Satya Nadella at Microsoft: Instilling a Growth Mindset case study, this has provided Nadella Satya resources to not only thwart competitive pressures but also to invest into research and development. For me it's time to move on.

Since Satya became CEO, it has grown nine times to a valuation of $2.5 trillion, making Microsoft one of the world's two most valuable companies. Like a domestic violence victim, MS fanboys everywhere should be asking some critical questions about the relationship they find themselves in. I think with the news of the demise of windows phone and groove are the pivotal sign, that consumer focus is traded for strictly business oriented investment (whatever that means). Nadella Satya has tried to diversify first using different brands and then by adding various features based on customer preferences. And who know's if and when a Chrome o/s will suddenly pring up, hey? 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".

Please do yourself a favor, and get either an iPhone or Android device. So that re-affirms Microsoft is committed to their own platform first and foremost. They did this with browsers in the early days of the consumer based internet. It seems you have the guts to take on things others don't. I use/have android and iOS devices and I have to say I prefer the 950. It is simple and easy to interact with but Apple as whole interacts with very few things outside its own verse. Most of us have probably embraced the new ideas at the Build pep rallies only to find out 24 months later that it was nothing more than an infomercial using many of us as the foot soldiers for the revenue stream. MBA & EMBA programs. That sh*t just doesn't add up. Joe tried to talk about how they "tried so hard" to get developers. I understand security needed to be stepped up, but you all did not take a practicle view of what is truly intuitive. - Inventory Management Based on the details provided in the Satya Nadella at Microsoft: Instilling a Growth Mindset case study, we can conclude that Nadella Satya is not efficiently managing the inventory and cash cycle. I will say I diddefend the guy from time to time but now, after buying into the hardware and software game from Microsoft and then finding out later, they scrap it anyways. I am one of those MS loyalists who believed all the hype (now looking like BS) about Windows utility and productivity across all platforms. Building strategies based on consumer oriented product development and marketing approach. After a mere 2 months, Microsoft pulled this phone, the Kin one and Kin two. Do they have a big market share? And so it needs to have an OS that functions in the "consumer" space. In that space, utlizing something like AR, comes into play for people holding phones in their hand, scanning their environment. Given how people flip when it comes to analytics and Microsoft.

But that does not make him good on the PC or a smartphone or understand anything about the consumer. A few apps on iOS and android will do nothing to change that as Microsoft become a forgotten company for the vast majority of users. I'm a Verizon customer for 15 years, and I heard they were so mad at Microsoft, hence their later attitude towards carrying and supporting Windows phone. Leaders with intellectual stimulation traits motivate employees to rethink prior situations and problems in new ways. Too much hubris. Despite more than doubling its revenue in the period, Surface lost tens of million of dollars in the past quarter. I searched (and still do and I don't know why) every day looking for the next MS mobile phone such a waste of time. According to Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston , Nadella Satya can use these developments in improving efficiencies, lowering costs, and transforming processes. Still, this remains the dumbest decision that I believe MIcrosoft has made. Thatmemorable momentwas first uploaded to YouTube in 2006, more than eight years ago. I wish this information had been available a couple of weeks ago. Emails? It's a given Nadella will continue to push Windows Azure and Office 365, where hes been instrumental in their impressive growth so far. I was idealist I told myself I'd add my two bits to this grand idea against the odds because I believed in it. In the BB days no BB owner would have imagined they would abandon their platform, then enter iPhone pardigm change. It works perfectly, we get updates each month that don't cause problems on the phone. Only to see that it was all a lie and have it sold to LG. 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. Then they get all defensive when the backlash is real. Here in the UK, Aviva uses an app to do just that, so safer drivers have lower insurance premiums. It seems the company is desperately looking to draw the attention of the audience without a defined plan of action. I had one for grarage band, but I could not stand OSX. The global PC market is expected to contract a few points this year, and then bottom out in 2015. In the scenario where the mobile is the Personal Computer it is much more important than building a laptop, an ultra mobile PC, a PC anything in fact. No vision equals no company. Let native APK to run on Windows Mobile and Windows desktop. Nokia, when whole, was not a particularly profitable company. I was expecting the unveiling of a Surface Phone this fall. Please forget about Win32 antiques. They get Fat, Dumb, and Happy and the executives spend all their time in-fighting for their personal goals and spend much more time and money trying to LOCK their consumers into their product than expanding the products flexibility and usefulness. Movies and TV will be next. Yeah, this will hurt them. you could install almost any android app you need ,even the google store. Large organizations should welcome such scrutiny. The Windows store is full of *****. The Surface division had a rocky start but seems to have recovered after those initial stumbles. Albeit without the use ahem salty language lol. It's far easier to hold on to customers than it is to acquire them. We invested time and money in you! They only needed to work on it! If MS has truely solved the CORE system then the Nadellas comments and the rest make sense and the development problem of a "mobile," desktop, and Social (Smart TV, IOT world) becomes trule nothing but a semantic difference in how a user interacts. According to global executive survey done by Harvard Business Review & Brightline Initiative Only 20% of the strategic targets set by organizations are realized. Satya Nadella needs no introduction. > If you feel that you've constantly let consumers down (which actually you have). You want him to do all that while writing a book??? (I know that is carcastic, but there is a bit of truth therein) There was no commitment to follow through. So market share never took off - regardless of the fact that the UI and overall experience was (and remains) far superior to the hunt-peck-oogle idiom of iPhone (which is like a nursery school toy) and Android (which sucks electrons faster than a Tesla at full speed). What is he planning to do to correct this? At a time when Chromebooks are getting popular they should not abandon the lower end or middle of the market. I see autistics as a gifted people to humanity. Im not going to pretend that I have enough insight or experience to tell Satya Nadella how to run Microsoft. With Microsoft nearly out of the consumer space businesses are feeling less inclined to use other Microsoft products because of the increased complexity. According to Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston , this can reduce the potential of success of Nadella Satya in the international market. I'm happily moving on to other platforms. Then I hope Microsoft phone are on their feet again. Its one thing to drop the ball continuously, its another to refocus on Enterprise and the few customers they have with high end hardware and IoT. Without mobile they will dissappear in years to come. If he'd have done the same thing with PCs that he did with phones, we wouldn't even be talking about Microsoft anymore. Allow Android app developers to publish their apps in the store just like native UWP apps but wrapped up like x86 apps are with the Project Centennial bridge. You killed the original middle ground, you numbnut. They think they cannot lose the enterprise space, but IBM thought that about OS/2. WP8.1 and the aquistion of Nokia was arguably either a desparate or ingenious move at the time because it offered the possiblity of a hero mobile device that directly could have competed with Apple's product but also allowed the license to be available to other oems similar to Android. Well. There is a reason why most tech companies are moving into consumer market. I upgraded the OS to Windows 10 and much of the funcuality starting dropping off because Sony chose not to up date drivers for the systems they deserted. They just want a simple product/service which fulfils there dreams. What is Nadella going to do about this apparent lack of caring about consumers? it could run Windows 10 on ARM CPU's and run win 32 x86 Desktop PC programs MS UWP Apps and Regular apps from the Windows 10 PC Microsoft store. Still using Winpho till ATT says they won't support it. Instead of building bridges to the future, MIcrosoft has burned many. 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. But, they still had a base of faithful users that they have completely abandonded which was absolutly the worst thing they could've done. It's a shame as I'm heavily invested in the MS ecosystem, but it's quite obvious they are not interested in the consultation market. Finally, he admitted that he made a FUBAR! In this (WinPhone) case, hitting refresh is a good thing imo. "People often ask how it's going," said Nadella. Satya had every intention of killing this platform and every step he made ensured it's demise. MS wake up!!! 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. The work that goes into Windows and Office ends up in both the enterprise and consumer/soho versions of those two products. So who knows how well they will run. When this is cut off thre is no real reason to stay with MSFT and all of a sudden a laptop with Chrome linked to a Google account and an Android Phone becomes a possibility or a Macbook with Apple account and an iPhone also become a possibility. 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.
