It isn't the guy digging for gold who gets rich, but rather the guy that sells the shovel. Let's also not forget to recognize Intel's inability to deliver a competitive x86 chip for mobile. 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. Tony Daltorio. I get that MS makes lots of money from providing software and services that only enterprises can buy.

Does anyone knows the name of the weed he smokes? A better question is how well the larger set of tablet devices running Windows 8.x sell. The products they do release these days are pointless - the Surface studio is only for a niche audience, and the Surface laptop is overpriced for what it does. I think it is a very intense business to do the digital "rights" management etc. And while all that is going on I'm also going to invest massively in windows on arm, VR, AR, AI, cloud and everything else I think is important.

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. But they seem to be blind or plain stupid OK, so he admitted it. The more I see his management style the more I realize that he has no idea what he's doing in terms of long term goals. This time, it promises, will be different. Nadella has said from the get go that Microsoft is committed to mobile. I fail to see any good outcomes here. "How long are you going to string your users along this time?" They will also see how easy and tempting it is to stay with just one ecosystem. The economy remains fragile. 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? So long Microsoft. Microsoft was several years too late to having the Windows 10 Mobile platform even be ready to compete against iOS and Android.

He only cares about the income statement today and his bonuses. The biggest OS company in the world, who promised Windows on any form of device -- and yet it gives up on phones and smartwatches?
