Again, this is one of the bestarticles I read from you. Microsoft tries to play fair and their competitors equivalently dirty. Then we get them bought by HP. Also, while Nadella is generally considered to be well-liked internally, he can hardly be universally popular. To them, if one aspect of infrastructure is failing, you cut it out and either replace it with a better part or you cut it out and re-route, as that's the cheapest option with a lower lead time. Dongles on the TV ( Firestick anyone ), Handhelds..etc.. And that's not even addressing the recent past - remember that time you upgraded your Windows phone OS only to find that it didn't support streaming any of your videos from the Movies and TV store? It's sad really. HoloLens? Does MS really think that Google and Apple are going to let it provide the cutting edge apps and services on their OS? Fact, the Lumia 520 proved there is a wp market in the US, period. Strengths and Weaknesses are often restricted to company's internal - resources, skills and limitations. Because all of it.every last bit of itis important." In a new interview with CNN Business, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella defended the company's $480 million contract with the U.S. Army following employee backlash. Now, No ******* thing. Microsoft also sellsOffice 365 to businesses large and small, governments, and educational customers. This has enabled Nadella Satya to build diverse revenue source and profit mix. Have already made the switch and though I miss windows phone, I have to say I'm much happier cause everything works. @PATCHERD, There are a bunch of fanboys running around in the dark trying to find the door right now! Facebook seems to be really putting in the effort with their VR offering. At a time when Chromebooks are getting popular they should not abandon the lower end or middle of the market. Many people wish for single product / service which perfectly blends there all needs. All I know is that I now sit here with an Lumia 950 XL phone that will loose apps support faster than water runs down the strain. Emails? SInce Nadella seems to be incapable of grasping the strategic environment he finds himself in given the context of the tech industry, let me put this in retail termsit's 2005 and Google is Walmart, Apple is Target, and Microsoft is Sears. Nearly 30 percent, to be precise. Enough People would buy them for Microsoft take the time to make amd market them. Nadella is synonymous with the cloud for a reason. (That means its a corporate-PR approved part of the official narrative.). Along with other noisy activist shareholders, ValueAct says its goal is to work constructively with management and/or the company's board to implement a strategy or strategies that maximize returns for all shareholders.. It's clear that MS has no idea how to relate to the average consumer. 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 have a simple straight question for Jason Ward in order to better understand and "position" his analysis and Warditorials. Mobile is not the biggest software market in the world. But the mere cost of Surface revenue was more than the revenue itself, meaning that the larger Surface loss for the period was much larger than you might think. Satya had every intention of killing this platform and every step he made ensured it's demise. But it seems there arethose that just can't get engaged with it. Just because any phone has a big screen with a high res it does not mean it copied a Lumia! VHS v Betamax, MP3 v losless audio, Beats Headphones v any named audio house) just which is the most popular. However, since I only have hints of what they are working on with Windows on ARM and CShell, I have to pick up something else. And there are no royalties. Satya Nadella wakes at 7 am, three hours after Apple CEO Tim Cook. ), but remove a mobile device and much of what we use is stationary. MS has long suffered with a lack of systemic thinking - an inability to see beyond a US centric closed system. Now, we're having to move on. Glad I'm not one of them because after year one he needed to be fired or put back in charge of the cloud department and someone else put in charge! "First, I believe that, at its most powerful, technology can be a force for good in the world," he says. Microsoft is still pulling its re-org together at the same time it is changing its business model. Nothing good can come of that.. I am with the Windows ecosystem because that is what my desktops and laptops are. Again and again, I ran into the same brick wall -- the developers had no confidence that Microsoft would continue to support the platform. Satya Narayana Nadella ( ting Telugu: , / ndl /; sinh ngy 19 thng 8 nm 1967) l mt gim c iu hnh kinh doanh ngi M gc n . I have been a windows mobile / phone user for a many years. 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. Poor marketing, poor execution, and just not paying attention to what users really needed until it was way too late. 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. I know there were major issues, but these little things improve daily life of the end user And that's what matters. WC was giving this guy credit for a lot of Ballmers work! Clearly Microsoft doesn't see it. Not only has he failed loyal consumers multiple times, he continues to fail as a CEO in providing a true vision beyond what he wants for himself. Based on details provided in the Satya Nadella at Microsoft: Instilling a Growth Mindset case study Nadella Satya can easily grow in its domestic market without much innovation but will require further investment into research and development to enter international market. It doesn't make any sense to support something useless anymore. 1 October 17, 2022, 7:41 AM Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella speaks at the 2022 Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit on latest changes and growth in the tech industry. When Nadella was named CEO of Microsoft on Feb. 4, 2014, Microsoft's market cap was about $311 billion, the cloud was a poorly understood and peripheral element in corporate strategy and the company was widely regarded as a once-great institution whose best days were in the rear-view mirror. I'm not saying developers won't embrace UWP or that Microsoft will cast aside AR within two years of taking your $500. 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. A lack of mobile has meant that it has no "non-tech" information feeding in to change help its narrative. It's great for all of us that Satya makes a sad during his Glorious Book Tour through the Clouds and feels sort of bad for leaving everyone in the lurch. The piece that Microsoft bought isnt much better. As more consumers are familiar with Android - it will get into the business place. March 2, 2022, 9:52 AM PST. But what about the wobblier parts of Redmonds portfolio? This has been the stated direction of MS since Bill Gates annouced his vision 20+ years ago. It helps him to spend time appreciating life's blessings. Nadella doesn't care about the future. I was convinced that they will push mobile and UWP until it succeed and it would. What current management fails to get is that they are focused on sub-optimization. (No, I haven't timed for how long, but but more that 5 minutes. (See Gene Wilder in The Producers.). Haven't got them. It never translated to consumer sales for Apple computers. Except if you paid sometimes after accepting agrements, but if you did, please tell us what? - High Margins Nadella Satya charges a premium compare to its competitors. Now, years later, we hear how much the people in charge hated it. But as noted by NOT having a precesence in Mobile with a OS that cleanly integrates into the PC, they are failing. Although the loss of Groove Music Pass hurts. The main problem here is that people can actually find free substitutes for those. However, there are a considerable number of things missing in Android as a basic function that Windows Mobile had built in for years. Literally any effing body can do that in his position. If only HP had its own mobile platform. This includes canceling my 365 subscription and will close my OneDrive account once I transfer everything over. Sure there are a handful but nowhere what Microsoft had if it had not abandoned consumers. Guess my next phone will be a Samsung device because it will be a cold day in hell when I buy an Apple device. Opportunities are macro environment factors and developments that Nadella Satya can leverage either to consolidate existing market position or use them for further expansion. There has been a presumption that XP users would make the switch. See my post above! - Lack of critical talent I believe that Nadella Satya is suffering from lack of critical talent especially in the field of technology & digital transformation. It will go a long, long way. But they seem to be blind or plain stupid OK, so he admitted it. It's all good in their bank account for now. I think that a key weakness that is rarely discussed . Sorry to tell him, to late. Jason. Google and Apple are committed and welcome talent. I could use Cortana to set reminders, appointments, whatever on either my phone or PC, and my PC or phonewould remind me. Now in many countries including Canada, either those users are still stuck on WP8 and no new devices (not even the HP Elite x3 or Lumia 950 been released yet) or they moved on to Android. Yes it would excite the few remaining die hard fans here, but everyone else will yawn and continue with their Apple and Android devices because it will have no MOBILE apps. - Project Management is too focused on internal delivery rather than considering all the interests of external stakeholders. The Windows store is full of *****. Maybe other basic apps like To-Do or even Windows Central? The next step is to move to that model for Windows-powered consumer devices. I only use Cortana as a quick launch for application on my PC. 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 . They may bring out a reboot device. - Increase in Consumer Disposable Income Nadella Satya can use the increasing disposable income to build a new business model where customers start paying progressively for using its products. They wouldnt let Tmobile, Sprint and Verizon have a foothold on the devices. I generally agree withall of this. Current management thinks they cannot lose because of the Windows desktop dominance, but they are wrong because both consumers and enterprises seek intergrated solutions these days. No such device is in the market place. They have opened the door and made it easy for the competitors. basically anyone on Windows was using MS services, so transfer to new product which would not be compatible with old system would be easy for them. When you fail to tell the truth to your employees the organization begins to corrode from the inside. Engage with consumer spaces that they have not traditionally engaged in so secure infotainment systems, this will allow to fine tune 5g tech and leverage azure with Cortana analytics. This adds one more reason why Microsoft struggles in consumers market. Meanwhile, they failed spectacularly in the biggest markets such as US and China. Although Microsoft have no obligation to me, their practices over Phone and Groove have me very cautious. Microsoft is in for a world of hurt regarding operating systems or app stores going forward. Enter Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. That comment deserves an up vote. I will NEVER buy MS hardware again! Along with this significant shift in product focus, Nadella also set expectations around how he wanted the Microsoft leadership cultureand, therefore, the culture of the organizationto shift. 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. No doubt they are winding down Surface. Desktops and laptops will not go away but many working tasks WILL move over to the more PC like smart phones in the future. Weaknesses. Whether consumers are willing to buy those devices has thus far been a mixed bag. According to Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston , there is huge scope of improvement in inventory management. Nadella was also executive vice president in charge of the companys cloud computing platform, which provided the infrastructure for such Microsoft offerings as the online search engine Bing, the Xbox Live broadband gaming network, and the Office 365 subscription-based services. So I have to bring an extra MP3 player when traing next year? Best bet as of right now. enjoy Windows 10 (solid, great OS), if that's your main computer OS, find another option for a phone or mobile device. Learn from mistakes and grow with concepts not with words.First and most important, build products/services for each and every person. What a joke. I hope they also realise forcing edge onto people who don't want it is wrong too. Very few. With MSFT once spearheading this path it has let many of us to a cul-de-sac. BTW, if your two Band-2 devices were working properly when you decided to leave the Microsoft ecosystem, how much would you sell them for?. ng l ch tch hi ng qun tr v tng gim c iu hnh ca Microsoft, k nhim cho Steve Ballmer vo nm 2014 vi t cch l gim c iu hnh [2] [3] v John W. Thompson vo nm I'm really glad I left when I did now cause I would seriously be pissed having spent all this time hoping in something Microsoft never delivered. 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. I can only remember Windows Mobile 7.5/8 being so stable that I'd go months without a reboot. EXCELLENT POINT, I completely agree!!! With MSFT once spearheading this path it has let many of us to a cul-de-sac. Because a tech company in 2017 without a mobile presence is not a tech company worth talking about. I don't see AR/VR/MR/whateverR becoming much of a universal platform. Courtesy of the Nadella family As we talked, I learned that Satya's deeply empathetic nature owes much to his eldest . If you go back and look though, I was a HUGE MS/ Windows Mobile supporter. But I've seen it time and time again in previous articles. I can't imagine Nadella doesn't realise this will happen he's the CEO after all. I understand why people weren't happy with Ballmer. I'm done with this. I am staying with my April 2017 Lumia 950XL (UK) till it no longer works. I understand security needed to be stepped up, but you all did not take a practicle view of what is truly intuitive. And so it needs to have an OS that functions in the "consumer" space. Most people in the US don't understand the pull of Nokia as brand. Let's look at the last 5-7 years. This puts Nadella in the helm partway through two key and coinciding changes to the company. It's happening right under our nose and in 2 years all tabloids will say hey we did not see that coming.. God I hope you'r right! We dared buying your phones! Balmer got it right when he wanted to populate users with inexpensive and fully usable handsets which bumped up the share to 4% world wide and around 15%in Europe only to be divested by Nadella. How many of those 100 million Windows phones are still in use? I would buy one. 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). So here's my planI'm going to get Panos to build the best goddam phone he can, and I'm going to make sure we upgrade it every year. How they turned their early lead, and the potential for synergy with Nokia into zilch is truly remarkable. Encyclopaedia Britannica's editors oversee subject areas in which they have extensive knowledge, whether from years of experience gained by working on that content or via study for an advanced degree. With great sadness, I powered off my Idol 4s for the last time last night and shortly aftert powered on my Note 8. The only apparent certainty at this point is that Nadella cares ONLY about Microsoft's cloud services, and Andriod & iOS apps. Windows 8.x fails to garner significant tablet market share, despite updates. On consumer devices, the cost of a license is going to have to drop dramatically. You have any data to show any meaningful increase in sales? What software do you use for music recording? "My response is very eastern: We're making great progress, but we should never be done."1 The "lost decade" Just 17 days after founder and technical whizz Bill Gates handed over the reins to Steve Ballmer in 2000, the stock market crashed. Still hope Xbox is not yet another division to be dropped. I am currently in the process of selling my 3 Windows Phones, XBox One, Surface Laptop and Band and I will be switching over to another OS and believe you me I will NOT be downloadiing any apps or software that is associated with Microsoft and I hope many many others follow suite. That's the way it was back in the day of Bill Gates, but those days are long over and it's their own fault. Is he really a CEO ? all history now. We need to think about unintended consequences of our technology, for example. 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. It had features that the iPhone couldn't simply do until the iPhone 3 came out. The providers didn't offer them, andwhen they finally didget some in stock, he employees knew nothing about them and actively discouraged anyone from buying them. 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. Phones arent't he new shiney objects anymore but that doesn't mean they're not relevant. The article and lots of the comment said WP fail because lack of dev/app, people must realize W10 also use the same dam UWP. 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". Microsoft, you used to plant the tree. The idea Microsoft may have folded now only to bring out something better in future has merit. It doesn't have to compete against companies that make a lot of gadgets. At one time, several years,ago, I read that Gartner or a large research firm "projected" that Windows Mobile would PASS Apple for #2 !!! 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. Microsoft supporter. Do they have a big market share? Even within W10 product delivery it has been a mismatch of poor services - Cortana language/accent limitations, region dependencies, store credit card (cc) limitations (only cc of the region set can be used). They have money they can waste now. 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. Well. The successful organizations such as Nadella Satya are the one who able to predict market trends better than others, provide resources to develop products and services to leverage those trends, able to counter competitors threats, and meet customers expected value proposition. Their image is so strong that people want it blindly and make no mistake it will come truth in years to come (20 perhaps). For all his success, Satya is extremely humble with unusually high levels of self-awareness and empathy, shaped by his life experiences and his crucibles. Omissions? @Sean D. I completely agree. It would take, at this point a complete 360, but than again they've already done that twice. Anyone who seriously thought that Microsofts board was going to choose an outsider who was willing to blow up Microsofts core businesses was, um,qualified to runfor Mayor of Toronto. And users on Android and iOS simply replace MS services with Google's and Apple's. Now is their communication process and the way how they approach consumers ok? Joe tried to talk about how they "tried so hard" to get developers. I'm sure if you added all this up, again, like most you, tons of money invested in their products and services. Ok, then where are all these European sales? Back in 2006 subscribed after being a Tester of Windows Live OneCare for Microsoft, used that til 2009, which then was replaced by MSE while it detection rate was good at first, then not good, then started to get better again, feeling a little safer using Windows Defender lately as it's now tightly intergrated into Windows 8.1 and 10, so likely hood of them dropping it maybe less now. 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! A mythical, moving target, Surface handheld device that hasn't seen the light of day yet after 4 or 5 years? Satya Nadella. Activity Finance teams are taking on a new role - striking the balance between strategic . It was a damn fool thing to abandon WM10. (I know that is carcastic, but there is a bit of truth therein) There was no commitment to follow through. You want him to do all that while writing a book??? I like the platform because it does what I need it to do. 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. Satya Nadella replaced billionaire Steve Ballmer as Microsoft CEO in 2014. As soon as loyal Phone users switch to iOS or Android they are only a step away from moving eco systems entirely. 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 . Even my 85 year old mom relies on mobile and MS turns it back. But he had passion and he truly seemed to care about Microsoft. Once, IBM was known for their computers, but then they changed focus from the individual to the corporation. Your best so far. I've owned Zune/Groove, WinMo 6.x, Lumia 900, 640, Yezz Billy 8, and Now Lumia 950. Still, this remains the dumbest decision that I believe MIcrosoft has made. The high brass at MSFT has to be replaced. Not only is the phone going to die, but Win10 updates disable their own MS software. Given all of this, it will basically be seen by the public as Yet AnotherWindows Phone. I thought it was bad enough when they dropped Band. Oh yeah, and for that little rat-faced Belifiore, it's outrageous that a company like MS announces it is killing off Windows Mobile in a buried response in a Tweet! Me, I love live tiles. Say what you will but Steve Ballmerhad more passion inhis one pinky for Windows than Nadella has in hiswhole boby. Some people say Windows Mobile / Phone was murdered, and my thought is that it wasn't, there were projects like Astoria and iOS Bridge which didn't had enough resources and marketing and didn't got attention in the Microsoft company as top priorities. The only thing wrong with Windows Mobile was that MS did not commit to developing the OS and decided that MS did not need the consumers anymore. In the course of my day I shall speak to clients. About the time I got around to rewriting the app, since it worked just fine keeping it as an 8 app I took my time, 10 was coming out. But it should lead the way for its products and services, and Windows Phone is the platform to do just that. I enjoyed it! They should have kept alive the Windows 10 Mobile until they will be releasing the next big thing.
