A better question is how well the larger set of tablet devices running Windows 8.x sell. Right now Microsoft's future technologies are orphaned. The rise was based on hopes that the underlying technology will live up to the prediction by Satya Nadella, the company's CEO, that it would "reshape pretty much every software category that we know." . 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". Nadella is an Indian-American business executive. Just because any phone has a big screen with a high res it does not mean it copied a Lumia! He learned the importance of daily gratitude from Michael Gervais and considers it .

Silverlight, WindowsRT, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Microsoft Band, Skype (Consumer End), Windows Phone, Nokia, Windows 10 Mobile, and now Groove and we could probably read the tea leaves to see what's next. Everyone has seen the clip of Steve Ballmer doing that chant, right? It's all good in their bank account for now. Sure, there's the Holodeck, but that's a plot device and not an actual envisioning of "how stuff gets done." Microsoft has been strident in the past in stating that it intends to have strong margins on the Surface line of products. Then just like Centennial, allow Android apps to take advantage of UWP features (live tiles, etc) this is the 'extend'. The best advice for Microsoft is to release a surface phone that does not look like a phone but is the ultimate device. Satya was just the guy that had to make the decision to pull the plug, but WP had been brain dead for a while already. By using the old adage of "embrace and extend". So who knows how well they will run. are consumers. If Microsoft had put the entire $7B they spent on Nokia towards additional phone subsidies, lets say they could have made what was normally a $200 phone a free phone. 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). - 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.

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. I think the only Mobile device Microsoft could sell to the public would be a "Surface" 7 to8 inch Mini Tablet with acell phone in it's caseRunning Windows 10 on ARM withC Shell and "Continuum"such a device would run full Win32 Desktop PC programs. Apple sells that many in 6 months, and Apple is #2. It's a given he'll stay with the devices and services strategy and theOne Microsoft vision. A typical day for Nadella begins with exercise and personal reflection. 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.

But, in the harsh afterglow of Googles Motorola purchase and sale, you have to wonder what might happen. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! 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. The common denominator is management arrogance and death spiral sub-optimization. Its no good chasing the 'shiny new thing' if you cannot make your kit work now. There isn't a single company in the world that earns a dime by selling very cheap phones. the penny drops at MS?

ButI would prefer not to (always) support the Apple fan-club thing or Google's super focus on ads and selling private data.

May also look into jumping to the Apple ecosystem because it all just works together like the Microsoft one used to. For me it's time to move on. If Microsoft doesn't have a consumer precense then employees would need to keep track of two ecosystems instead of one meaning more work and complexity. If he'd have done the same thing with PCs that he did with phones, we wouldn't even be talking about Microsoft anymore. The reason we are all consumers of this company's MODERN products is from what Steve pushed. It's about time Nadella and Microsoft showed some loyalty to us and themselves as well..

Although Microsoft have no obligation to me, their practices over Phone and Groove have me very cautious. I will NEVER buy MS hardware again! All except Surface Pros have been ditched by MS. MS cons consumers into investing in its ecosystem then dumps them a year or two later. I think MS has decided to maintain a strong footprint in games (XBox, PC) to ensure every so many years there are unique games that go with Xbox releases to differentiate from Sony. And finally, it has been an assumption that Nadella will have full avail of Microsofts cadre of executive vice presidents. I buy more books than I can finish.
