Amid the rise of work-from-home culture post-Covid-19 lockdowns, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that bosses are scared that their employees slack off while working from home. What will this all mean to Continuum? People were hating SO hard on windows 8, but I could see where they are Going with it (in the future) and I was super excited. Weaknesses. Nadella? Microsoft will be extremely vulnerable without a mobile presence. I read once that it was estimated that over 100,000,000 (100 million) WINDOWS MOBILE PHONES have been sold over the life time of Windows Mobile. I've heard about apps/software that can make an Android look like a Windows Phone home screen, but how much like the original are those softwares/apps? Go ahead and pull the arm of the compting slot machine and cross your fingers. Microsoft has been strident in the past in stating that it intends to have strong margins on the Surface line of products. Omissions? Obviously this has to be asked and displayed PROMINENTLY. He took over as CEO in 2014 and has since led Microsoft through a period of significant growth and transformation. Why did they move to Windows 10 mobile, when they knew the Windows 10 OS was not good to go? The influx of new customers has also led to evolution of consumer preferences and tastes. Satya Nadella sees a way forward. That is a material risk for Nadella. he likes a phone that has support from the company who makes it. - 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. Does MS really think that Google and Apple are going to let it provide the cutting edge apps and services on their OS? @JaimitoFrog.Yeahthats the ticketMS would be bankrupt in 6 months. As you rightly point out, Jason, "eradicating" Windows phones and their ngegative perception was paramount to "hitting refresh". So if an Apple/Google competitor offers a competitive product then I will give it a good look, if not my first right of refusal. So he admits it? Yeah, short term the shareholders are making money, but long term I think this could be the beginning to the end for Microsoft. By using the old adage of "embrace and extend". Those budget phone buyers were never going to drive app development. I had two Lumia 822's, two 928's(me and my girlfriend, who loved her 928 btw) an Icon and now a 735. 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. My 950XL still works and I like it and the W10M approach. History does repeat itself, and in the corporate world it is usually because of poor management and lack of vision. I mean for now they are great systems if you use OneDrive and windows 10 pc. But to do that they better get busy. Hi All Nadella is a cloud guy, which is the strong growth future for Microsoft. WP never had significant market share. I think this is one of the best options MS has if it wants to come back in the mobile space. Unreal. On the immediate, serious side though - without mobile, their hopes for growing the end user - UWP - developer ecosystem is now down to, what - low to middle end Windows "S" devices? Android and iOS are clearly both better than they were, but I just prefer the layout and feel of W10 M. I am not sure what I will do next, part of me thinks "buy a 950XL or an X3 but they might ditch support in 6 months". . In Leadership, Organizational culture areas, the firm needs to navigate environment by building strong relationship with lobby groups and political network. It was over when Google gave Android away for free and Microsoft kept charging for Windows Mobile. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shares his thoughts on work from home culture. Employees begin to question management commitment, and indirectly their own future. Those are gentle, highly sanitized code words, of course. It's a given he'll stay with the devices and services strategy and theOne Microsoft vision. But as I think, it's not too late, there is still chance of Plan C, which is to fork Android (AOSP) from scratch and have consumers, carriers and OEMS happy because there is no app gap anymore. Because a tech company in 2017 without a mobile presence is not a tech company worth talking about. Worse, it would still not have theMOBILE apps that iOS and Androidhave. Very true. But as noted by NOT having a precesence in Mobile with a OS that cleanly integrates into the PC, they are failing. Threats are macro environment factors and developments that can derail business model of Nadella Satya. MS can do the world a favor and leave the consumer market altogether. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! I hope they also realise forcing edge onto people who don't want it is wrong too. Currently idk how Microsoft can do to become great again. It's just a phone people, maybe leave cancer, autism, spousal abuse out of the commentary? I bought this phone a year ago brand new believing in Microsoft's promise on making those phones if no one else would and that they would invest in the universal app system. PayPal left, Mobile pay lef, weChat left, myfitnesspal left and spottify is on maintenance mode. except MSFT doesn't care about its own loyal users, with many of them switching to Android now. 2023 ZDNET, A Red Ventures company. And although it makes perfect sense, that move wont be easy. Instead it will just make them more comfortable with iOS or Android since they can get the best of both worlds. Again and again, I ran into the same brick wall -- the developers had no confidence that Microsoft would continue to support the platform. It be a hobby you grew out of because u won't have a phone you need to babysit all the time like window mobile 10. Contacts (People), email, calendar etc are all tied to MSFT ecosystem and the mobile thread is Windows Phone. PC market is diminishing; tablet market is diminishing Maybe it's a symptom of their hiring practices and cost cutting, but too many people who work at MS don't actually like the company. 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. Even my 85 year old mom relies on mobile and MS turns it back. The global PC market is expected to contract a few points this year, and then bottom out in 2015. It's with a growth mindset, Nadella has changed the image of Microsoft to being super cool again. Disney's DMA contract already wasn't renewed. Nadella is known for his leadership style, which emphasizes empathy, innovation, and a long-term focus. I still use my Xbox for games primarily and entertainment at home (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc. Regards 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. 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). Jason Ward's synopsis "Nadella's broken consumer, developer, and OEM relationships will invariably affect the company's future." I hope Nadella has jotted down a note to himself: Do not attempt to re-create Ballmer developers video. Now I use a Pixel it doesn't really talk with my PC. At this point in history, with cutthroat competition from every side, theres little room for anything resembling dilettantism. Sad times. Because you never understood Windows Phone, you jackass. Is he really a CEO ? http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/there-are- Market is measured by money, not by people, otherwise India would be the most attractive market in the world, but it is not. To get developers, they would have needed 25% or more at least, and users that spend money in the app store. Without a mobile platform of their own their future is limited if not over. instead of office/onedrive. + Surface RT, and two Surface Pro versions. Satya is just like this but on steroids. I think Microsoft should at least try to listen to us once.. Before abandoned windows phone platform totally.. You blame us not to buy you phone.. If the current Windows users can use their MS stuff on either mobile platforms, they will be ok. OneDrive can easyly be swooped by Icloud on Iphones and Googe drive on Android phones. :))) Are you smoking something? 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. Satya Nadella. Buy NVDA on any tech stock weakness, in the $180 to $220 range. 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. This is what happens in any company that has 80%+ market share in anything. How can MS kill its own future? Despite more than doubling its revenue in the period, Surface lost tens of million of dollars in the past quarter. Satya Nadella said reading a diary entry from his mom reminded him what leadership is really about. It wouldn't be that hard for a company with massive cash reseeves to get, what, 150 to 200 top apps and games. Here in the UK, Aviva uses an app to do just that, so safer drivers have lower insurance premiums. It was dead evident. Nadella IS committed to Windows Mobile - er - Windows ON mobile. In fact, I would say Nadella and the Board are collectively insane. I can honestly say that it is not stress free and definitely not stable. So their sole purpose was to select the highest priority ones and focus development on that. And my guess is that these items are all high on Nadellas to-do list. But developers need to be seriously wooed back to the Windows platform. Microsoft reminds me of IBM. They will be around for a very long time and if you don't understand that well, it's obvious you don't. While actual revenue from direct OS purchase may not be as impressive market share matters. Enabling them to help lower insurance premiums for safe drivers, a vault for safe drivers of sorts. Not all at once but steadily. I chose to go with a Nokia 6 (running pure Android 7.1.1) and use Microsoft apps on it. Moving forward, the 1520 simply needed a refresh and would have been quite a nice threesome with the 950 and 950xl. A lack of mobile has meant that it has no "non-tech" information feeding in to change help its narrative. No vision equals no company. the corporate policy has always been if we don't own the code we won't let you play on our devices. He has not changed his mind of that, just regretting that he did not pay closer attention to the phone base. Does Continiuum not fit into the overall "not a phone but a new form factor for mobile computing" gameplan? But I also use Ableton Live 9 and I tried Reaper software too. I must say I have enjoyed using windows phone but now it is causing a huge disappointment and frustration. 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. Once, they held conferences announcing new operating systems and individuals went to the conference. 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. Tried that twice actually. Everyone has seen the clip of Steve Ballmer doing that chant, right? 10 years? The case study provides background on Nadella's challenges and context, as well as how he and his leadership team executed their culture change effort. ), an Xbox one and Xbox One S, a W10 HP desktop for my daughter. As a consumer, I am now no longer interested in MS apps or services, and am now figuring out whether to switch to Android (and Google's apps and services) or Apple. At this rate, it's going to be cloud only as the consumer market dries up to nothing. Users wanted small things like transparent icons for Skype, office apps landscape mode for start screen. Keep the hardware division growing fast. Still a very profitable company, but no consumer play. Microsoft did the same thing. Like my Apple Watch, as a wearable, an iPad for a tablet experience (yes, I own a Surface Pro 4, but that's not a tablet-like experience for me) or switching to Apple Music because Groove wouldn't have albums available, when released (all to see them cancel the service out right). Like many of you, I've defended this platform relentlessly. You know the one you bought so you could integrate your TV and have something way better than the Wii. More than when Windows Mobile was changed to Window Phone 7, then 8, 8.1, then 10. Spotyfi does not work at all on my Lumia 950 XL When starting, 5 dots passes over the screen for several minutes. Nadella grew up in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad and studied electrical engineering at Mangalore University (B.Sc., 1988). If I ever make the switch to another phone, I will share that, but I'm one tough customer to get to change over from something I bought for a reason and I don't see that reason in another product. The co - founder of Microsoft - Mr. Bill Gates was the mentor of Satya Nadella. Watch on. Phones arent't he new shiney objects anymore but that doesn't mean they're not relevant. I'm getting off track), updated features. The thing that frustrates me the most about this is how the company was so secretive about its vision for Windows on phones; or lack thereof. Zain Nadella, 26, was born with cerebral palsy. I don't know why they seem concerned about our comments in the Windows Phone Platform, but do nothing to fix what we share. Thats not an enviable job. This adds one more reason why Microsoft struggles in consumers market. Strengths and Weaknesses are often restricted to company's internal - resources, skills and limitations. The WMR headsets i mean. I also felt pretty betrayed owning am Xbox One original. I understand your frustration but I do not agree to your comment people will not return. All rights reserved. I was expecting the unveiling of a Surface Phone this fall. MS was king because the dominated the desktop - all applications had to be written for it to exist. Can someone from WC actually get a quick interview with this CEO? But I'm NOT keeping using it out of loyalty to MS - rather, because I like Windows 10 Mobile and the phone remains almost as capable as most other handsets out there. Having a mobile device would have kept them in the game. Most mobile phone carriers are bundling ever more minutes and texts in plans because people have moved to data. Nadella Satya is struggling to restructure processes in light of developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The list goes on. Although the loss of Groove Music Pass hurts. I stuck with my 920 as long as I could (almost 3 years), hoping for MS to release something wothy. What did we get, oh we are committed to WebOS and its future. Growing up as a young adult, all my home computer were Windows, 98- W10. I don't really have any other smartphone experience to compare it to, but I do know how a phone looks is part of what catches my eye and I have, to this day, have not seen one phone that is as eye-catching as Window Phone's transparent tiles and what you can do with them to create an awesome home screen. MS needs to be careful about leaving its users feeling burnt and lied to. Win 10 pcs are nowhere near 1.5 billion, and never will be. will consider using VM now. And I'm going to get my hardware partners to build devices too. Nadella will have to welcome droves of people into a culture that he will be only freshly in charge of. I was right. I'm totally agree.. Their exclusivity killed windows phone. I use/have android and iOS devices and I have to say I prefer the 950. From high hopes to seeing what a low life he really is. This so reminds me of when I had my Palm Pre. To be plain, Nadellas new role is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, jobs in technology. After that, who knows. In 2016 Nadella oversaw the acquisition of LinkedIn, a business-oriented social networking Web site. The company has focused its efforts in the future of the cloud and 3D business based on other platforms like android and iOS, leaving behind its own platform and what is trending in today business. Even the iphone needed a reboot every week or two. Apple has tried for decades to crack Enterprise and their desktop share hasn't moved. A typical day for Nadella begins with exercise and personal reflection. Rest 80% of the strategic targets are not achieved because of incomprehensive planning, limited resource allocation, and poor execution. Microsoft would have never appointed a tunnel vision IT person Stay as the President. Zero trust in that company anymore, zero. Mobile phones are not phones. Everyone was excited to see real hardware matched to the os. I love how everyone seems to think Google and apple can conquer every market. They have money they can waste now. Nokias hardware division drags on Microsofts margins and net income. exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. Nor do the actual sales numbers, consistently the demand for Lumias exceeded sales in Asia and Europe, they could have capitalized on it. If theysee Google and Apple apps/hardware/software everywhere, people are not going to buy Microsoft. 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. They've prob hushed up in light of this article lol. Satya Nadella is an Indian-American business executive who is best known for being the executive chairman and CEO of Microsoft.Before becoming CEO, he served as the executive vice president of the cloud and enterprise group of Microsoft.Satya has been the recipient of honors like the Financial Times' "Person of the Year", Fortune magazine's "Businessperson of the Year", and CNBC . There is a reason why most tech companies are moving into consumer market. I just know that I have very little faith or trust in Microsoft keeping their word anymore. So, give them something they are familiar with but with a settingoption where they could useeither Live Tiles or Icons. Bill Gates will spend a portion of his time at the company assisting with product choices. Why did they not keep windows 8.1 for phones going, releasing new phones on that OS instead of 950 on windows 10? Its no good chasing the 'shiny new thing' if you cannot make your kit work now. Its up to Nadella to ensure that the Surface project can finally be taken off financial life support and walk under its own steam. Joe tried to talk about how they "tried so hard" to get developers. The contract, which would supply the . Link to the interview please. So let's market a phone that is not a phone for the fear of recalling the big fiasco made out of 10% of mobile market share they made out of Windows Phone/windows 10 mobile. Finally, he admitted that he made a FUBAR! Windows Azure, Microsofts IaaS and PaaS cloud computing could services slip given that Nadellas attention will be now more broadly distributed. I have been a Microsoft fan from the beginning and have enjoyed their products and I am a HUGE WINDOWSPHONE FAN but I am DONE! They will fail at AR/VR etc with the same gusto. During his four-day India visit, the Microsoft Executive Chairman and CEO had an interesting interaction with an AI at the Future Ready Technology Summit in Bengaluru on Wednesday. That said, I believe MSFT has been incredibly disingenuous and downright cavalier with people's emotions in how they have played this saga but then given the numbers of Windows 10 subscribers out there, I guess they brought that into their calculations. He articulated the company's mission, transformed the corporate culture, and formed strategic partnerships with Microsoft's fiercest . Apple and Google leak like seives and MS know they keep their cache with the big reveals. yeah people just don't understand the problem won't solve by simply having android apps to run on Windows 10. They will naturally go with what they know, which won't be Microsoft. Nadella Satya first hand witnessed the impact of it where it has seen lower demand of its products from middle class customers in US and EU market. Very good comment @squire777and agree to most of it. The truth is that they drop a very good system that is starting to work very well. 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. I have stayed with Windows phone since the first version came out and now suddenly knowing that MS is abondoning this platform has caused me anguished and lose faith completely in MS. Will get ready to get an android phone (as I am never an apple fan) and also will migrate MS related apps to other platform too. When Satya Nadella took over as CEO of Microsoft in 2014, he inherited a firm fading toward irrelevance, plagued by internal fights and inertia. The main problem here is that people can actually find free substitutes for those. Intellectual Stimulation. > If you feel that you've constantly let consumers down (which actually you have). My phone and PC no longer communicate the way they used to. 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. 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. They have only just started releasing a modem the market (apple) likes. It's that re-affirmed bias that drives most developers to target the platform with a larger base group. Nokia, when whole, was not a particularly profitable company. While Mr Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, was declared the "Person of the Year" by the Financial Times, Mr Pichai was named the CEO of Alphabet, the principal company which owns Google, of which Mr. EXCELLENT POINT, I completely agree!!! Please. What really killed it though was the repeated reboots of mobile since WP7 where they left everyone in the dust moving forward. Across Europe/Aus/NZ many use a mobile and ISP provided digital hub/smart tv to access what they need. 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. Nadella has been a technical, "Big Iron" guy his entire career. Satya Nadella is the CEO of Microsoft, one of the world's largest and most influential technology companies. Which they were supposed to use to build the best mobile platform. Nadella Satya can use two approaches - building on present strengths, or analyze the trend and build processes to two pronged market penetration approach. Microsoft's CEO wrote for Fast Company about a quote from philosopher Sren Kierkegaard that . I look at this like eating at a restaurant that constantly gets your order wrong. That made the other carriers apprehensive to carry and push Windows phones, yes? It is going to be about man with machines." They have burned too many bridges and lost too much trust. HE SHOULD READ ALOT OF BOOK!!! Fact, the Lumia 520 proved there is a wp market in the US, period. Now, we're having to move on. So there isn't too much money in the mobile - currently there is no company that earns even a dollar by selling operating systems. He has steered the company away from a. Facebook, Messenger, Line (in Taiwan, Japan), up coming iTunes, Netflix, Keeper, Instagram, TamperMonkey, Spotify, 8zip, etc. A big mistake. To assume, you can abandon a cause multiple times, burning not only consumers, but your OEMs and try to shift to conversation to the "future", means you are still out of touch. Do European countries need Americans on their boards? I was idealist I told myself I'd add my two bits to this grand idea against the odds because I believed in it. The general consensus seems to be mobile is an essential component to any future. Good article. I must confess that we use only Android and iOS phones in our household. Nadella has said from the get go that Microsoft is committed to mobile. My step sister's husband works for Microsoft, and he was stunned to hear I still owned a WP! There is a lot of progress in innovation on many levels, but there is a huge lack of following through in the fot and finish. I'm almost ready to throw in the towel on Windows Central. That's why I am sure Nadella is not making a "mistake" in his mind. This is a death note for Microsoft and they will go the way of IBM. I think MS does have plans for Mobile (probably in line with Zach's overall vision) but they don't like to show devices till they are ready. I think any decision he made was going to cost Microsoft something. Again, this is one of the bestarticles I read from you. My view is Microsoft have missed the next wave because the platform they have is peripheral to the next wave. Microsoft is really sorry about those other times it deserted you but it loves you - it's getting counseling and turning over a new leaf. Not to mention, updates for Win 10 & applications are poorly done and tested, which makes them a dice roll every time, as you cross your fingers that nothing breaks on your systems. He obviously had a plan and in hindsight not a good one. The party has lasted for more than a decade and rollback from Fed can result in huge interest costs for Nadella Satya. This approach can lead to poor public relation and customer backlash. According to Herminia Ibarra, Aneeta Rattan, Anna Johnston , this can reduce the potential of success of Nadella Satya in the international market. 4 on the overall list with a yearly compensation of $84,308,755. Gates got it because he understood to compete in the technical arena you must cover the landscape with product. HoloLens? You killed the original middle ground, you numbnut. Microsoft had one drink too many and roughed your checkbook up a little. With MSFT once spearheading this path it has let many of us to a cul-de-sac. MSFT seems to be telegraphing very clearly that they feel Windows will be dead in less than 10 years and they are moving the company in the direction to ensure survival in a post-Windows world.
