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... -- Shamil Tue, 15 Jul 2014 22:57:24 -0600 (MDT) from Jim Lawrence <accessd at shaw.ca>: >Here is a link to a podcast dealing with Microsoft/Linux off the record overview of Satya Nadella's corporate statement: > >http://feedpress.me/t3ogg > >It seems that Microsoft is moving off desktop applications all together.
