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. As developers we embrace new technologies, and most of us have spent much money and many hours learning it. Then I hope Microsoft phone are on their feet again. Infinidim. He has sank this company and is now trying to save his ass. But in general it was a culmination of stupid moves at that time. Office 365 revenues fail to match declining traditional Office revenues. Leaders with inspirational motivation traits provide employees with a set of shared goals and the vision necessary to attain them. Does MS really think that Google and Apple are going to let it provide the cutting edge apps and services on their OS? I only use Cortana as a quick launch for application on my PC. I think Windows 10 as OS should be friendly with all types of nature. This is sucky. He learned the importance of daily gratitude from Michael Gervais and considers it . I've had a 950 since launch and none of those issues. Seriously, Nadella is an example of the Peter Principle and MS needs new leadership that can harness the enthusiasm of their devs and customers to re-introduce Win phones and improve their offerings & quality across the board. HE SHOULD READ ALOT OF BOOK!!! Recent statements made by high executives confirm the rumors were true. MS needs to be careful about leaving its users feeling burnt and lied to. He has no dream or overarching vision. Microsoft had one drink too many and roughed your checkbook up a little. Plus, Win32 apps are running in emulation. They only barely made double digits in a handful of places on cheap phones. the reason i stick with windows 10 only because of photoshop. Unreal. Would be nice if the people that bought 950 or 950 XLs could get some kind of compensation or at least an apology. (Hint: Thats not likely to involve spinning off Bing, which has an important role to playat the core of other products.). As an OS company, I don't understand how MS seems to have failed to grasp is that "consumer" = "enterprise." I'm not bitter or angry - that takes too much energy - just a little heartbroken because I have to give up something I love. Advertisers don't care either, you'll get one dime a click for them. That comment deserves an up vote. Microsoft is now worth more than $2.26 trillion. Have a full and frank exchange of ideas in the board room. - Growing Market Size and Evolving Preferences of Consumers Over the last decade and half the market size has grown at brisk pace. 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. But then Microsoft figured - it's just a couple of hundred bucks down the crapper, I mean, you've already stood by me through so much. Whether consumers are willing to buy those devices has thus far been a mixed bag. It doesn't matter which is the best (it never has, e.g. 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. 4 on the overall list with a yearly compensation of $84,308,755. I've never had a any other smart phone but a Microsoft mobile OS. Satya Nadella's weakness shows he's human like the rest of us A Hyderabadi romantic. What really hurts is that people buy what they know. 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. And silence for 2 years from MS, resulting in speculation everywhere, like the guy who wrote this article here. Mobile payment was the "next big thing" five years ago. A low cost, touch device, similar to the Surface. MIcrosoft should keep W10M alive until it can upstage it to something better. I once had a SONY Vaio PC, The company stopped supporting it. 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. All rights reserved. I don't know if I'm at all typical, but I was a loyal MS fan for years, and went to great effort to work within your ecosystem - phones, tablets, PC's. You lose your ability to retain talent or to recruit the best talent when futures are uncertain. Nor do the actual sales numbers, consistently the demand for Lumias exceeded sales in Asia and Europe, they could have capitalized on it. At least they have Azure MS waited way too long to get serious about the mobile platform. It would significantly provide an assistance to avail the opportunities of the external business environment.

Enter Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Apple and Google leak like seives and MS know they keep their cache with the big reveals. Cheers to all! And finally, it has been an assumption that Nadella will have full avail of Microsofts cadre of executive vice presidents. - Access to International Talent in Global Market One of the challenges Nadella Satya facing right now is limited access to high level talent market because of limited budget. One thing for sure Microsoft killed off it's chance to reenter the smart phone arena again, Consumers , it's oem partners. I'm very happy with my iPhone. We dared buying your phones! I stand by that.

And PC volume has been the savior of the Windows 8.x platform as it has slowly arranged its ducks in a row. Certain apps were noticeably missing, but it remained a viable platform for many people and was even quite popular in a number of countries outside the US. I look at this like eating at a restaurant that constantly gets your order wrong. While working full-time at Microsoft, Nadella also earned (1997) a masters degree in business administration from the University of Chicago. That marks a 10% increase compared to 2021. Personally, I'd return to Windows mobile if they had a decent offering on Verizon. Then throw us a carrot and make Messaging Everywhere work. Activity Finance teams are taking on a new role - striking the balance between strategic . While actual revenue from direct OS purchase may not be as impressive market share matters. I love how everyone seems to think Google and apple can conquer every market. I love Windows Mobile for what it is but I am willing to give other things a shot with the caveat that I am going to very picky about the phone I get. So that re-affirms Microsoft is committed to their own platform first and foremost. 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. Why does Microsoft need to be in the phone/mobile OS market? Those budget phone buyers were never going to drive app development. 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. Congratulations, you got lucky. Prior to that, Nadella was Microsoft EVP of the cloud and enterprise group. The main problem here is that people can actually find free substitutes for those. From high hopes to seeing what a low life he really is. 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. Which they were supposed to use to build the best mobile platform. I'm not saying developers won't embrace UWP or that Microsoft will cast aside AR within two years of taking your $500. In 2007 he was elevated to senior vice president of research and development for the companys online services division, and he later served (201113) as president of Microsofts server and tools business, which annually generated some $19 billion in revenue. I mean for now they are great systems if you use OneDrive and windows 10 pc. "The future of work is not just about technology and tools," he said. You may want to try. 1. HP must have been working with BIG HP ENTERPRISE customers and BIG HP partners and could have "really bridged the gap"!!! Zain Nadella, 26, was born with cerebral palsy. Too little too late for me. re-add all the phones that could run the creators update to the feature 2 branch or red stone branch. That could go poorly. I have personally seen such apps on existing windows tablets. Consumers need free or less pricy option. Certainly, I'm not qualified to see the future or manage a multinational corporation, but even with phones being a money pit, it's one of those investments that look to me like a necessity, like Bing was. Given how people flip when it comes to analytics and Microsoft. Well. Published by HBR Publications. I've recently been on Android and had to go through the growing pains of my mom switching to iOS. 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. I will watch and see! Satya Nadella is the CEO of Microsoft, one of the world's largest and most influential technology companies. Time to put some Europeans in the MS Board! 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. Very good comment @squire777and agree to most of it. That works out to 35M discounted (to free) phones. I got fed up swithed the machine to a Linux OS and got everything working again, but I haven't had a Sony product in my house ever since and I won't. HoloLens is cool and all but its not in consumers hands. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shares his thoughts on work from home culture. Apple has tried for decades to crack Enterprise and their desktop share hasn't moved. Overall, Nadella embraces self-awareness as a leader and for organizations: "If there's criticism for what you're doing, it's appropriate to look in the mirror and understand whether there are changes needed. If people start to use other software than Microsoft Office on those Android phones and Iphones then well then Microsoft is actually tottally irrelevant on the smartphones and hence really out of the bit data business in the smart phone business. They remind me academic profesors in my post soviet european country - they are completley out of this reality and all of their research is just to prove something and than back to the drawer. They lined everything up to continue growing the phones, but just didn't deliver. Def agree with the comments about verizon.and little doubt that played a big part in the lack of window phone sales Good he's admitted that is a huge issue. Windows OS for Enterprise Slow down development on android and iOS, push out universal store apps first then their ios and android counterparts. This has been the stated direction of MS since Bill Gates annouced his vision 20+ years ago. No Windows/Microsoft mobiles means no OS that makes Microsoft Office relevant. This is going to hurt Microsoft for the coming decades. Microsoft may have done better to keep a controlling share of Nokia and just let it run itself. Explain me how developers could have ever been motivated to create new apps for the platform after Nadella sold the complete mobile department to Foxxconn in 2015, not making any new model since Very true. No, but the folks who drive them sure do like the ride. I haven't seen any apologists here today. SWOT Analysis stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that Nadella Satya encounters both internally and in macro environment that it operates in. So all the while Joe B was tap-dancing away for dear life to keep it afloat, Satya was making a throat-slashing sign in the background. Enough People would buy them for Microsoft take the time to make amd market them. He placed an intentionally greater emphasis on empathy, individual empowerment, positivity, and growth. and i knew then, it was the death of Mobile and there was no way in hell MS was going to recover from this. However, there are a considerable number of things missing in Android as a basic function that Windows Mobile had built in for years. SWOT Analysis stands for - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that Nadella Satya encounters both internally and in macro environment that it operates in. That is just one long term aspect. Here's a bulletin for Satya NadellaYou have to have a range of products and services for your customers if you expect to keep them. Windows is famous for still being Windows even on a low end cheap as piece of plastic. Comments like yours prove nothing more than you fanboys deserve every bit of crap MS is doing to you, for being to blind to act when the time was right instead kissing Nutella's @$$ and joining MS's guinea pig insider program. I know there were major issues, but these little things improve daily life of the end user And that's what matters. Quit being so stupid and open All devices to All carriers, Idiots. are consumers. Microsoft will be extremely vulnerable without a mobile presence. 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. There is only one near-term way Microsoft could save mobile. Except if you paid sometimes after accepting agrements, but if you did, please tell us what? 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." By 1999 he had been named vice president of the Microsoft bCentral small-business service, and two years later he became corporate vice president of Microsoft Business Solutions. There are many, I can type endlessly about what Microsoft could do to repair bridges. If Microsoft is going to spend lots of money building iOS and Android apps to link Microsoft services to these OS, why wouldn't they do the same for W10M? What current management fails to get is that they are focused on sub-optimization. I was right. the Dell's, HP, Asus, Acers,Lenovo's WILL engage because they will have the opportunity to break open (in the long run) a market that is now in the hands of a duopoly (Apple and Samsung). MS threw away all the seeds. This tactic can work on mobile by allowing Project Astoria to be resurrected. Gates got it because he understood to compete in the technical arena you must cover the landscape with product. With MSFT once spearheading this path it has let many of us to a cul-de-sac. The reason we are all consumers of this company's MODERN products is from what Steve pushed. He and his team are guiding one the world's most significant high-tech companies. 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. Was that a marketing ploy also? MS didn't have the foresight to see that they didn't have to sell the OS to monetize it. That was the day I ordered a Pixel 2 and created a G-mail account. History does repeat itself, and in the corporate world it is usually because of poor management and lack of vision. That fanboy attitude also helped killing Windows Phones. IBM was always focused on corporate sales (mainframes). le Since then Microsoft's developer community have felt jerked around more than they've felt cheered, with a couple of high-profile shifts in development strategy (abandoning Silverlight was the biggestslap, but there have been others). There is virtually no Microsoft presence. - Culture of sticky prices in the industry Nadella Satya operates in an industry where there is a culture of sticky prices. With great sadness, I powered off my Idol 4s for the last time last night and shortly aftert powered on my Note 8. And then make whatever changes seem appropriate without being panicked by a single shareholder whose holdings constitute less than 1 percent of all shares. Nearly 30 percent, to be precise. Apps were coming over fairly regularly and MS put a lot of energy into its Xamarin purchase and development. I think we will see the opposite now that mobile is king. My step sister's husband works for Microsoft, and he was stunned to hear I still owned a WP! Always keep learning. If that presages a broad slowdown of Windows Phone sales, Microsofts mobile momentum could stall, pushing that magical 10 percent market share figure further and further out into the future. Folks Microsoft is a company that gets most of it's income from selling software and services to Enterprrise/Business customers.and to people who sell or and use Desktop PC's. Nadella rose steadily through the ranks of Microsoft management. Will Microsoft abandon this thing in a year or two like he did with phones?". Nadella is known for his leadership style, which emphasizes empathy, innovation, and a long-term focus. Articles from Britannica Encyclopedias for elementary and high school students. For example, it was corporate spend that kept Microsofts OEM revenues from falling heavily in its most recent quarter. While we had blips of great service, products and attention, ultimately it came back down and we went back to finding proper solutions. We're going to move to Android and IOS, and anything MS announces "in the future" won't matter to those who have moved on. why they killed project astoria? Because the future is mobile and Microsoft make operating systems. We can all appreciate that thirst for knowledge. 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. I still see people in the subway with their iPhone 4. Maybe we need Bill Gates to lead microsoft again..I hate CEOs that try to show profit by downsizing rather than truly growng the business. That may not be the case. - Robust Domestic Market that Nadella Satya Operates in - The domestic market in which Nadella Satya is operating is both a source of strength and roadblock to the growth and innovation of the company. A better question is how well the larger set of tablet devices running Windows 8.x sell. Brazil, France, Canada, UK, India, and Thailand were the countries where more than 40% of their respective populations were using Windows phones. abandon consumer market is a bad choose Heres a thought, why not sell Windowsphone to HDM or whoever bought Nokia. The high brass at MSFT has to be replaced. I understand why they pulled out. The key problem with modern Windows phones, ie., W8M and W10M was apps. He had cynically deceived loyal fans of W10M. Opportunities can emerge from various factors such as - political developments & policy changes, changes in consumer preferences, technological innovations, economic growth, and increase in consumer disposable income . So Nutella just let down windows phone to focus on developping a bunch of Skype bots that nobody talk with? Satya Narayana Nadella has been the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Microsoft by succeeding Steve Ballmer in 2014 and under him, the company had witnessed considerable growth. Many people wish for single product / service which perfectly blends there all needs. Windows 10 has the numbers and we see new good quality apps appearing in the store on a daily basis. 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. It was a record third quarter, driven by the continued strength of the Microsoft Cloud, which surpassed $23 billion in revenue, up 32% year-over-year. My 950XL still works and I like it and the W10M approach. 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! If I am working on let's say Windows Mobile and I know it may be killed, why stay? and programs from a small cell phone can run on a bigger monitor through "continuum" software. You've even way over engineered Visual Studio so much that VB & C# are no long intuitive and much more confusing to use and develop in. If you go back and look though, I was a HUGE MS/ Windows Mobile supporter. How many news outlets have put negative news about Swelling batteries issue of some phone manufacturer? LOL, the only thing worth copying from a Lumia was the camera technology. It is written by Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston and deals with topics in areas such as Organizational Development Leadership, Organizational culture Google doesit. Microsoft was plagued by the . MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! Microsoft would have never appointed a tunnel vision IT person Stay as the President. Six challenges for Microsoft as the Satya Nadella era begins, His CEO speech: Reading between the software lines, New Microsoft CEO must focus on partners, too, What's next for the Microsoft insiders who didn't get the CEO nod. So the Windows 8.x we have for mobile today is likely the Windows 8.x for mobile we are going to have for some time. But developers need to be seriously wooed back to the Windows platform. The general consensus seems to be mobile is an essential component to any future. 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. Bill Gates will spend a portion of his time at the company assisting with product choices. I want another Windows device for mobile but I can't make an informed decison without information. Nothing good can come of that.. Instead of building bridges to the future, MIcrosoft has burned many. The co - founder of Microsoft - Mr. Bill Gates was the mentor of Satya Nadella. But it is possible to enforce some sanity in the transition from licensed software tosubscription services. Thats not an enviable job. Do European countries need Americans on their boards? They will swap to Apple as the trend is there. Satya Nadella - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Amy Hood - Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Alice Jolla - Chief Accounting Officer Keith Dolliver - Deputy General. Developers may see it as a new platform, and knowing how MS dumped windows mobile, they are going to be afraid to put any work into software for andromeda, for fear it will be dumped a year or two down the road. we also need to put the blame on AT&T. Just as Google's Chrome was a trojan horse on Windows, Microsoft needs to build an app(s) on Android and iOS that consumers fall in love with and can't live without. Sure there are a handful but nowhere what Microsoft had if it had not abandoned consumers. They need to name and market it under a different moniker!!!! At one time, several years,ago, I read that Gartner or a large research firm "projected" that Windows Mobile would PASS Apple for #2 !!! I think one of the issues is secrecy. But they didn't do that. At a time when Chromebooks are getting popular they should not abandon the lower end or middle of the market. Never again ! So long Microsoft. Your arguments about why this is a mistake are all very true and obvious. Its demise seems engineered by the current CEO. After moving to the United States, he completed (1990) a masters degree in computer science at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and went to work at Sun Microsystems, Inc., as a member of its technology staff. One thing Nadella failed to realize is In professionals want simplicity and with a BYOD business they have choice in the products used. They will naturally go with what they know, which won't be Microsoft. A new concept is really not going to do much because just like a new car/ blanket/ cone of ice cream/ new love.. etc.. doesn't replace the very first (the excitement, anticipation, thrill, vibe, energy can never be thesame), a new project won't replace windows phone in the hearts consumers, no matter whether it fails or succeeds.. 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. He has more commitment, vision, drive, passion and focus than this assclown running microsoft. Absolutely correct. You probably have no chance to become Microsoft's CEO. Satya Nadella and his leadership team impressively executed the significant cultural change efforts. What should be more concerning to Apple and Google is the ever cozier relationship between the two biggest forces in the cloud, Amazon and MS. And, given that Stephen Elop was tipped as a leading CEO candidate, some could be unhappy that their guy did not win. I was idealist I told myself I'd add my two bits to this grand idea against the odds because I believed in it. Google Glass anyone? I also own Suface products, and I am very pleased with the devices however I won't buy anymore unless I see that MS is going to support the sytems and not leave me hanging in the cold. Yes, I am a disgruntled Microsoft phone owner who paid a premium price for a premium phone and is getting shafted by Microsoft once again. They cancel products and services without thinking twice and assuming that consumers just have money to throw around to buy new products and services You know it is a mistake, and you still do it. 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. Perhaps people will not go back right now, but at least they should have kept some marketshare by by not killing win 7 phones, win 8 phones and then now declare end of line for win 10 mobile phones in 2019 July like 2 years after launching two flagship phones(Lumia 950/950 XL) and only one year after HP Elite x3 release and well the recently released Alcaltel Idol 4 phone Also you fail to see the importants of big data and its relations with the smart phones and the built in software such as Google docs and on IOS Numbers. If there was one bone-head move in recent times I would reverse it would have been leaving HP out to dry. The kids are seeing a daily dose of Apple and Chrome.
