Many of us are tired of being abused by a company that used us then left us hanging high and dry. To be plain, Nadellas new role is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, jobs in technology. le Because Gates has moved to Android and Belfiore to an iOS they will soon see what the benefits and disadvantages are. In the BB days no BB owner would have imagined they would abandon their platform, then enter iPhone pardigm change. Also I hope it is clear that MS has moved on from Mobile focus they now want to catch up with the supposedly next big thing. This has had to have had a big impact on Window 10 and its mobile ambitions. I will NEVER buy MS hardware again! Has strong global presence and a large distribution network. Now, MS is no longer a inovative company. AR is already a fail: look what they did with HoloLens, it's 2 yars now. So the last part to me is the key, especially if you have had some initial success. They have had a chance. Consumers? So Microsoft is going to fix abandoning consumers doing it again and again and again? If they had demonstrated that resolve, maybe developers would have been more willing to feed an emerging market of users. I'm actually considering holding my nose and going to Apple in the hope of finding some systemic consistency. WP is not OneCore so RIP WP, as announced. the fact is Windows smart phones were not selling very well so Microsoft cut back on Windows smart phones.but Microsoft CEO Nadella and other Microsoft execs hinted Microsoft will make a smart phone that does not look like smart phone out there today. At this point in history, with cutthroat competition from every side, theres little room for anything resembling dilettantism. Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella is an example. The app-gap seemed to be coming to an end with the acquisition of Xamarin as a magic tool to gain developers attention. Sure Cortana is available on the PC, but where is the Cortana IoT integration? This approach can lead to poor public relation and customer backlash. I am still using one drive, one note and outlook. I'm not worried about the hardware though. Every time I see an article like this it just leave me scratching my head how a "tech giant" like Microsoft abandons the largest market on the planet, mobile. 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. As more consumers are familiar with Android - it will get into the business place. Not even Chinese. And MS completely borked the marketing of Win phones, which killed off its market share, and domino'd into devs not bothering with apps for it. "The future of work is not just about technology and tools," he said. That fanboy attitude also helped killing Windows Phones. Tech billionaire Satya Nadella 's recent conversation with an artificial intelligence (AI) software proves the future ahead looks bright. I love how everyone seems to think Google and apple can conquer every market. Define the line between business and consumer. But I also use Ableton Live 9 and I tried Reaper software too. More than when Windows Mobile was changed to Window Phone 7, then 8, 8.1, then 10. It doesn't pass the Star Trek Tech test: There's gazillions of handheld devices in the Star Trek universe. They dominate in search and Android, maybe IoT, but that is questionable. Satya Nadella, Microsoft Chairman and CEO, in a session at the Annual Meeting, told Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum, that a golden age of AI is under way and will redefine work as we know it. MS has screwed every single fan over and didn't even try lube. Clearly Microsoft doesn't see it. hprbl/ It is written by Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston and deals with topics in areas such as Organizational Development Leadership, Organizational culture
Now Windows 10 Mobile too. That's now Nadellas problem to deal with. Having a mobile device would have kept them in the game. They would have been the first to buy mixed reality devices and paid monthly for Xbox gold and Groove. Wake TFU Microsoft! Well by then Microsoft will either have a new mobile phone system ready or be irrelevant in the mobile business. Google now has a year's worth of my use and it's assitant, while not as nice as Cortana, has customized itself to me. Maybe it's not too late. I wonder if Nadella has considered returning some of his pay and bonuses as contrition for his "mistakes"? I fully expect Amazon to buy MS..sooner than later. WC was giving this guy credit for a lot of Ballmers work! As far as reaching out to developers, I was a hobby developer for WP starting with 8,I made a simple application using the built in componentsand methods that Microsoft recommended. Windows phones were reaching 10% market share in some markets. They should have kept it going until they had something else to offer verus, "whelp we're pulling the plug, go give your money to someone else and we hope you'll like whatever we bring out in the future, IF we decide to bring it out." Keep up the great work Windows Central team. Unlike an outsider, Nadella knows precisely Microsoft's strengths and weaknesses, and has . They need to name and market it under a different moniker!!!! You can create the worlds finished machine learning but if you are not getting the input from people on the most used devices then it will gradually lose traction to the devices people do use. I"ve been abandoned with every MS product I've ever bought into: WinCE PDAs and phones, Win 8, 8.1, Zune, Surface RT, both the Band 1 and Band 2, Groove (Spotify sucks on my MS 950 and my Surface Pro 3). The key difference is that the former is a reputation of perpetually stunted progress, vs a reputation of continuous progress. On a MacBook, I like the simplicity of garageband. time to get rid all my microsoft service. They will swap to Apple as the trend is there. A heck of a way to treat your customers. Maybe they didn't want anymore after that. Spending heavily to support your new business model is a good plan. Europe has 750 000 000 people, that's a bigger market than US. 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". Time is Running Out, Motorola's handy Bluetooth device adds satellite messaging, Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives, Sony's new headphones adopt WH-1000XM5 technology at a great price, The perfectly pointless $197 gadget that some people will love. They seem to care about users of other platforms more than they do about users of MS' own services. - Managing Regulations and Business Environment Nadella Satya operates in an environment where it faces numerous regulations and government diktats. You might get lucky but I'm not betting on you any more. So I shall party ans rock hard on with my beloved Lumia 950 XL until then at least. This includes canceling my 365 subscription and will close my OneDrive account once I transfer everything over. Bing is much more than just a website - it's the search infrastructure and tech at the heart of MS Cloud computing. One of Nadellas first major tasks was overseeing the completion of Microsofts $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia Corp.s mobile-device business, a transaction that had been announced in 2013 despite the reservations of various Microsoft executives, one of whom reportedly was Nadella. You arejust wrong. - 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. Poor integration of Nokias tens of thousands of workers. 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. Almost all Developers cater to consumers because that is the largest growth market for trends and 15-minute fame apps. 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". Now that Satya Nadella has takenthe reins from Steve Ballmeras CEO of Microsoft, he has just a few more hours before he has to stop the celebrating and getting-to-know-you interviews and get to work. If he really wants to show/repair this divide he has created by constantly abandoning consumers then its time to sit up, stick with the concept of windows phone/mobile, make a cup of coffee and figure it out.. No other way to do it.. A new product will not replace the loyalty and trust lost by throwing out windows phone (just like buying a new cone of ice cream doesn't replace the one that fell.. WP7 kept all features from WM6.5? 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. And PC volume has been the savior of the Windows 8.x platform as it has slowly arranged its ducks in a row. The temptation so far for the managers at Nadella Satya is to focus on the domestic market only. 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. I will watch and see! I think any decision he made was going to cost Microsoft something. Its the substance abuse of choice for the 23rd/24th etc centuries. At least I have noticed this and I was researching and then found out like Media agenciesgetpaid for biased news. A typical day for Nadella begins with exercise and personal reflection. They may bring out a reboot device. I like that idea. You may want to try. Here in the UK, Aviva uses an app to do just that, so safer drivers have lower insurance premiums. There are plenty of third party companies that will build their own version of windows devices if they are getting support from MS but if you turn away from them now I can be pretty positive they won't be so willing to take a chance on any new developments later ( fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me). It was created by Linkin Park, very touch screen friendly! Even with this entire WM10 debacle we never got a clear statement aside from tweets from Joe, nor did we get any sort of apology for leading consumers on. After all, I'm 'only' a consumer! Microsoft is no longer the giant it used to be, and apparently is digging its own grave. March 2, 2022, 9:52 AM PST. If this isn't just stupid IDK what is! 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). Nadella needs to be replaced. That sh*t just doesn't add up. So is leaving some software out from,10 like gestures beta lol. Satya Nadella, chief executive officer said in . WTF??? are consumers. Even IF they ship another new phone device with real windows 10 then WHY in earth should the current fan base care? I've owned Zune/Groove, WinMo 6.x, Lumia 900, 640, Yezz Billy 8, and Now Lumia 950. I mean for now they are great systems if you use OneDrive and windows 10 pc. Apple and Google leak like seives and MS know they keep their cache with the big reveals. I don't see a long term future even for windows if this idea fails. Satya is writing his own book - Hit Refresh. Google Glass anyone? Once they bought NOKIA, then that project was cancelled by Steve Ballmer. How much have you or your company invested in Microsoft "mobile" over the last 5 years? I think they could have basically said, "look the X3 will not get win32 support but it will get as much else of Andromeda that the hardware can handle (essentially becoming W10S) so we can build the core experience on it during insider preview" that would have let HP market an X3 version 2 for the legacy win32 support and given Microsoft the loyal user base that would give them feedback on the development. What really hurt Windows Phone was empty promises that they lost interest on keeping. Professionally I have already been seeing a shift away from business even requesting MS products just for that reason and less interest in MS products when I propose them to clients. Microsoft has officially jumped the shark. 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. Google doesit. Recommendations to Nadella. Mobile is the future, and not just for consumers. all running on a appstore controlled by Microsoft. The Nokia deal is about to bring a huge chunk of new staff into Microsofts business roughly at the same time that it is picking up a new leader. EXCELLENT POINT, I completely agree!!!

The Organizational Development solutions & strategies has helped Nadella Satya in coming up with unique solution to tap the un-catered markets. Maybe this is a way to come back with a mobile device! Admitting apparently isn't keeping him from doing over and over again. Satya Nadella i Competing in the Age of AI Strategy and Leadership When Algorithms and Networks Run the World Marco Iansiti Source: "An important book that explains what's required to rethink the firm and become an AI-first company." - Satya Nadella View on Amazon 2 recommenders Mark Cuban Satya Nadella i No Rules Rules I was never unhappy with the OS as a whole and I still prefer it to Android. I'm worried about the state of the software. Nadella has said from the get go that Microsoft is committed to mobile. Satya Narayana Nadella became Microsoft's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in 2014. Only thing saving this company no is his firing or him doing at least one thing honorable, and quoting. Microsoft was plagued by the . Mobiles are now the gateway product to tech not enterprise systems. By India Today Tech: Most companies, regardless of their sector, are calling employees back to the office now that COVID cases have dropped significantly. Now how will Microsoft stay relevant when the majority of the users dock their powerful Iphones or Android phones to a docking station and uses big scrrens and use Office software made by Apple or Goodle android. why they killed project astoria? This is a death note for Microsoft and they will go the way of IBM. I feel your pain! Not because of the content and information but mainly because its just sad. We need to think about unintended consequences of our technology, for example. If Nokia X, Astoria and iOS Bridge would have the attention they deserverd, today we would see OEMs selling Microsoft's mobile OS capable of running Bank applications, Airline ticket applications, Snapchat, Youtube, etc. (I know that is sarcastic, but there is a bit of truth therein) There was no commitment to follow through.

Comments . just about ALL Windows 10 Microsoft Store Apps anf the Centennial Win32 desktop PC programs that are in the Windows 10 "Microsoft store" such a device would be like a smallhand held Surface Pro Tablet and run the same apps and PC proghrams the Surface pro 2 in 1 uses. Just bought an Idol 4S - beautiful phone - might be sending it back. I will use my X3 until it's dead. But at some point Surface will need to flip to the black. A strong desktop market would entice many app developers to implement at least some UWP features making the Windows based app experience minimally equal to native Android but in some cases, better because of the Windows unique integration. 8. Europe is a 500 million people big market so I don't think that's a small market at all. MBA students will look at it for years to come. There have been leaks of Microsoft dual screen MINI TABLETS. It was more important to shake the long building reputation that MS is a company of startup technology which never gets finished to a point where end users, developers, and OEM partners can achieve a reasonable ROI for their time, and money investments, than to shake the stigma of a slow progressing ecosystem. But "enterprises" are made up of employees who are also "consumers." MS has very deliberately started funneling their fans to other platforms this past week and it's very upsetting because I truly love and enjoy Windows Mobile and have used a variation of it for the past 10+ years. This time, it promises, will be different. - Lack of Work force diversity I believe that Nadella Satya is not diverse enough given that most of its growth so far is in its domestic market. Its shortsighted. I think one of the issues is secrecy. I was idealist I told myself I'd add my two bits to this grand idea against the odds because I believed in it. It's that re-affirmed bias that drives most developers to target the platform with a larger base group. Even as a placeholder? We as consumers are being misled by Paid Media(In India, we call them Presstitutes) regarding Microsoft. In todays climate more and more people (ie..consumers) are concerned about loss of privacy, ID theft, and compromise of their personal information whether it is banking or otherwise. Ah, forgive my little moment. How they turned their early lead, and the potential for synergy with Nokia into zilch is truly remarkable. And i have owned an 830 and then a 950xl since Not true. BS!

Strengths and Weaknesses are often restricted to company's internal - resources, skills and limitations. Apple has tried for decades to crack Enterprise and their desktop share hasn't moved.

Still using Winpho till ATT says they won't support it. Thats my list. The promise of one core finally, seemless intergaion with a mobile experience that should have been prefferable on this platform for at least first party apps along with developer interest of intergrating the same code across multiple platforms. Phones are similarly an essential component in having a consumer-focused business it should have been pursued doggedly, even at the losses it was accruing. Sounds to me like Mocrosoft are not a company to invest in, either by buying their kit or shares. Now I'm left with an unfinished project and what future? You cannot be trusted. Apple is not churning the same 100 million users every 6 months. So, MS, wake up. Once, IBM was known for their computers, but then they changed focus from the individual to the corporation. That comment deserves an up vote. I don't have any advice, but I think I have a pretty good idea of what's on the new boss's to-do list.

You have any data to show any meaningful increase in sales? But this never happened at MS because too many people who were supposed to be shaping technology of the future would rather see iOS and Android be successful rather than their own product. Any "survey experts" to SEND A STRONG MESSAGE to Satya Nadella - I will sign and,can get dozens of others just by myself. Another economic slowdown could harm business buying cycles that have been key forMicrosofts growth. I honestly dont think there was anything MS could have done to get back in the game. The truth is that they drop a very good system that is starting to work very well. Hi All - Organization Culture It seems that organization culture of Nadella Satya is still dominated by turf wars within various divisions, leading to managers keeping information close to their chests. They did this with browsers in the early days of the consumer based internet. All he did was avoid answers, while offering some nebulous comments that left loyal customers baffled. Probably until battery run out. 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.
