Hurray for the Desktop World!  If it can just last for about 10 more years ...  ;-)

 Hi Jim --

But for me the key(phrase) of Satya Nadella's memo is: "We will reinvent productivity (for mobile-first and cloud-first world)  to empower every person and every organization on the planet to do more and achieve more."
They can do that I suppose. After all they have always been good in providing productivity tools for both end-/power-users and devs.
In "mobile world" it may happen they will succeed with their "productivity reinvention" more for competing platforms as Android and iPhone/iPad than for WinPhone/Surface.
As for desktops, they will probably continue "reigning" in desktop world, which promise to live for a long time...
