Terrific video Dieter. Thanks as always. In my opinion, Microsoft is betting more on the future. Remember Satya saying: " I mean supporting actor role in a world that is increasingly digital is a very comfortable position to be in". I hope they can succeed in their hardware ventures- really love the surface book and surface studio.
It's a bit sad but at the same time I kinda like where Microsoft is going. And also they should improve upon things that seem to be working like Windows, the Surface laptops etc..
They are. Microsoft is following the same strategy they've always had. Provide the users the best possible experience on whatever they're using. Windows can be installed on almost any computer, and Microsoft has released FREE apps on Android and iOS to easily connect to their services. Dieter seems to think Microsoft is doing something different, but it's business as usual. The biggest shift is in their internal communications. Departments are now communicating with each other and sharing code instead of doing their own thing and hoping it works.
I still believe Windows Phone is the best phone OS. It was quick, efficient and intuitive. The dev platform was the downfall imo. Xbox will bounce back in the next gen if Phil keeps it up.
I really like how Satya Nadella re-viewing, re-thinking, and re-making Microsoft, especially in a complex, multi-device universe of AI, cloud, and IoT. Windows works just fine on my laptops, but I also use, by default, iOS and Android on my mobiles. More importantly, these different operating systems seem to get along rather well with one another!
I really enjoy the balance in this (and others alike) where you have a balance between bringing up the positive things about the company but also the struggles they´re having. Great video! :)
Facebook AI going haywire? What are you talking about? Facebook is going haywire, not its AI on its own. AI does not exist in the form you are referring to it Dieter.
It is exciting to see lots of new and good content from verge. Dieter you are the best. I love how present Microsoft thinks and they are definitely change the digital world and will set a new benchmark.
I think Microsoft has embraced its true reality. Its a service company and it needs to figure out how to make money well from that. I am excited to see what new products would be coming from Microsoft that other companies could build on. I hope it does a better job at respecting users data, security and all as it pivots.
I'm glad they're focusing efforts elsewhere nowadays, I liked Windows Phone and the idea of continuum but it just wasn't the right thing at that point in time, or maybe not right at all. I think Microsoft is a lot more outward facing now, which is great, having a proper phone companion software sounds like a smart idea - I hate switching to my phone to reply to a message when I'ma already on my PC! Do wish Xbox had some more going for it though... PS4 has killed it recently with game exclusives!
He's been the CEO for what, 5 years now? And he's been at senior roles at Microsoft for something like 25 years now? Future future, sounds good, but perhaps he's had quite a lot of time to "change" Microsoft already. I think Microsoft needs to go all in with Android and Chrome OS, go all in with ARM Servers, run Windows on Android (like Samsung Dex), emulate Windows x86 apps on ARM Chromebooks, etc.
I doubt that they're going to pour that many resources into supporting applications they don't want on a platform they don't own. Microsoft wants UWP apps to replace x86 stuff, understandably. Both because they manage the store and because they can't move toward the future until customers are able to part with their x86 apps.
go all in with Android and Chrome os ? nah instead make available web apps for its own platform to reduce the app gap and there I solved their biggest problem , apps won't be important in future thats for sure and Microsoft is already in the dominant position cause they have what Google and apple are looking for a full fledged os that can run on anything
Microsoft more than any other tech giant is in a unique position where they have so many overarching technologies and enterprise presence that I don't see anyone else challenging them in this space anytime soon if really ever. Sure Facebook does AI, Google as well but none carry the clout or broad expertise in this field and Microsoft and Satya is realizing this and pushing it to the N-th degree as they know they need to if they want to stay relevant. Consumer-facing products/technologies are pretty much none-existent for them so they have to focus what is now their bread and butter.
It's been like 6 years I am saying that I made mistake and bought the DELL with Windows instead of the MAC, and saying my next computer will be the Apple one. But after the Nadela starts to run MS I am slowly start to change my mind and maybe stick with Windows. It is because I see the changes, I see that MS is now focusing on what they do the best and it is business applications and collaborative tools instead of fighting with Apple and Google in the phones wars. And there is the danger for the Apple. If the Windows will really collaborate with iOS devices, like was shown, it's another argument to avoid the Apple nice but outdated and over-prized computers. In compare with this, I see more mature keynotes on the MS side than the Apple. And, for the geek who grown up on sci-fi I want to visit this kind of lab too :-)
My 2010 Macbook Pro had finally taken its last breath and I looked at the latest lineup of Macbooks and thought... hey, not a lot has changed here, fundamentally it's the same thing except there's actually a few functions missing! I then looked at Surface Book 2 and thought... yes! that is a 2018 laptop... it's trying something innovative
They are talking about cross platform with platforms that already work. That means Windows compatibility with Android. I think that sounds pretty cool!
Windows Phone just wouldn't stick. They were trying to compete with both Android and iOS while those were already in a mature state. The fail signs were showing soon after launch. Lately I see Microsoft focusing on Android and iOS apps, making those OSes work nicely with Windows and increase the compatibility with more and more electronic devices. It was just a matter of acknowledging what works and what... just doesn't.
I had a Windows Phone, didn't like it, but I could see it potential, that's why it is the only old phone I can't sell or donate, still keep it to remind me of keeping good ideas
Microsoft is truly a reliable and valuable company and a benefactor to innovation in the world as we see it today. I love how they're moving towards a cloud based system with Azure and Office 365 while still continuing to make great products and develop efficient and cooperative software such as their line of Surface devices equipped with Windows 10 Pro. Though it is true their phones weren't a world-shattering success, there exists a multitude of things Microsoft does that IS. So to Microsoft, even though you'll probably never see this, thank you.
As a 18-year-old Design student and passionate I've always loved Apple's way to ideate and commercialize its values through products, services and infrastructures. But lately Apple is focusing more on the brand and reorganizing its offer rather than changing lives. I believe Microsoft is truly thinking out of the box nowadays, creating both smart hardwares and softwares. I hope people will understand that Microsoft is not second to anyone. They're not just Windows; they're creating solutions probably better than the iMac I'm writing this comment from.
Dieter's videos are just always my favourites. Great content as ever! I would like to see more focus on integration between Android and Windows. Yes Microsoft lost the phone battle, and now they are taking baby steps towards integrating Android, but it still too restricted. I live my life on a Surface Pro 4, working both as my notebook in uni, as my entertainment device for those lazy nights, as my workstation coupled with an ultrawide monitor at home and even sometimes as my light gaming computer. However, I am equally frustrated every time I want a file, a photo, a website or anything from my computer to my phone, or the other way around. Yes there is some integration now, but it is too hard to set up, relies on Edge on my phone (which has been awfully slow and resource intensive since it came out), relies on their own little launcher or just doesn't work at all.
The latest update of windows 10 did something that i don't know but suddenly the power of my Gpu increased and I'm now able to play latest games at high setting which I was unable to play before. can someone explain me what happened?
It’s interesting how Microsoft has really reclaimed the mantle of innovation for operating systems. Apple still makes the best hardware, but a lot of exciting and beautiful software is coming from Microsoft.
I have a lot of respect for Microsoft and their somewhat new direction. Over the past 3 or so years they have been building this strategy. I believe this cooperative strategy and focus on innovation is exciting and really something important to keep an eye on.
Excellent video. Just heard from an IBM VP today and I'm very excited with where AI is going. I love my Google Home Mini, but I'm excited for where the future of AI will take us.
When i see this it doesn't really make me feel excited. It actually makes me miss the old days when I just needed a PC to print my documents and chat through Windows live Messenger etc.
The most important thing to work on for me is to redesign the Core of Windows and cleaning it up from the ground. Although that's a huge task and takes way too much time to be profitable for Microsoft.
You know on one hand I totally get the feeling a little sad part, but at the same time I am seeing Windows 10 becoming this wonderful operating system that I have always wanted it to be, which is ironic because Microsoft is apparently switching from being ALL ABOUT WINDOWS to another grander scheme. I haven't really had crashes with my laptop, nor has windows ever come across as buggy to me (I know it is for a lot of people out there) but my experience has really been as Microsoft intended. I actually think Windows is better than MacOS, more so after this April's Creators Update. The timeline, the comprehensive settings app that makes me (for the first time since ever) feel like control panel's days are numbered! Windows Defender actually seems sufficient enough if you're someone of decent internet habits, AUTOCORRECT whilst typing? This is great people. And if you have yourself a Dell XPS with that infinity edge display? What more do you want? Maybe a 4k Dell XPS 15, with a 16:10 screen ratio (at TheVerge I winketh) hahaha
I just think Microsoft is trying to make a difference by their own way it's something new in the market . It's much more bigger than just to compete with other os or companies . I think That meeting thing has a great potential
I like that Microsoft is taking in their own direction. I feel like MS is a more company in general that's trying to appeal to more advanced users while also making more basic users become power users. The reason why I like MS so much is bc of all the power that it holds. I don't think Microsoft needs to directly compete with a Google or Apple bc those people like me who love their products will do cool.stiff with it to make others want to learn and discover all that Mr. Nadella is trying to offer
I hardly am ever on My Laptop, and Windows OS has its limits of what I can do as a user. I do alot on My Smartphone than on my Laptop. I spend more time on my smartphone than on my PC or Laptop. What am saying to Microsoft is Windows Phone had a great potential of combining that barrier. Having a fully intergrated Windows OS fitting in my pocket. That is what Microsoft should have been pushing towards.
When is the Cambridge Analytica, a very human misuse of data, become a FB AI fault?! O_o Other than that comment, great video. The recent years MS is the MS I want to see
I think Microsoft is successful in so many ways that journalists will never understand.... and I think Microsoft likes it that way. They let Apple bash them for years, and still hold the lionshare of users worldwide. Sony sold an incredible amount of PS4 hardware this generation... Peopla all over the internet wondering if Microsoft will shut down Xbox, while they're making billions. LOL .. People wondering why they invest in features for Xbox and Windows crossplay. Drives engagement, which drives software, and services sales. Microsft doesn't want to sell you an Xbox or Win10 machine you don't actually use. Microsoft is a software and services company. Everything is in service of Windows. Azure, Xbox... Everything....
Xcentr1cK true . Now a days people just don't get things right . They just don't understand what Microsoft is doing . They just start comparing with Google and apple . The way Microsoft have turn things around that's we call " smart " strategy . I think Microsoft is getting ready for some thing big .
Ajinkya Ubale I agree A Sony or Apple strategy would not be ideal for Microsoft... It would work... But Xbox was always intended to show off the power of DirectX.. To get people to use their Dev tools, and their OS, and servers. Xbox is doing its job... That being said... We all know Microsoft wishes that scalebound & fable legends weren't cancelled and were huge successes... And I agree. And I wish sea of thieves had more things and adventures to find... That being said... Microsoft is in no danger of shutting down Xbox, it's aligned perfectly with company goals and while it could be doing better... Xbox execs are being hired and promoted... Shows confidence.
I think the important thing Microsoft's doing is putting their best apps & services into another OS. While customers become accustomed to Microsoft's services, Windows becomes a powerful assistant/ core for their work. Cortana will be smarter, AI will be embedded slowly into windows. And there may be a lightweight/cheaper version for educational computers/ ARM laptops. More features more powers!
It's just an example of things you can go. Microsoft and other companies are definitely using it for more than just that. For example, architects are using it to build and explore a rendering of their creation so they can fix or adjust things before construction begins.
I liked a lot this video and the way it approached the changes at Microsoft, showing how it is still relevant beyond what topically people looks at to measure tech success. (PD he avoided the responsibility questions haha)
I hope they will be a dominant force in AR/VR hololens and Windows Mixed reality r really great hope the platform continue to get good developer and third party support
I'd love to see The Verge do something similar with Cisco in the collaboration realm (Google as well). The office meeting experience has become extremely competitive.
Everyone is hating on Satya cause he didn't focus much on consumer electronics, aka,A SMARTPHONE. But he's keeping Microsoft alive! It's market valuation doubled in 5 years! Like are you kidding me! Such blind hated.
THIS is the difference between Apple and the rest. Apple tries to make EVERYTHING theirs, but others try to make EVERYTHING else work with what they have. They are the ones who truly make our lives easier and just more intuitive.
Really I've been following Microsoft for last decade like their take on Android OS to just simply quitting it. They're trying to make a difference by doing things differently and yeah we can see that in their recent product lines. But I see the real question here should be who's gonna ensure that those core and ethical principles are being adhered?
well, i think microsoft should try (or encourage) people to work on more "well done products"... the market is flooded with bad hardware and software, and i think the app store from apple is a game change, if microsoft does something like it (easy to develop and also optimized to work with windows), i think there's no way to argue to not use a windows, or work with windows but, i am so happy with all the updates of windows 10... i've fallen in love with this OS. it's nice to see they are focusing on security
I think Microsoft can do better in the mobile area but of course without implementing a new OS. For example I'm trying the Microsoft Launcher and I have to say that I really enjoy what they had made with the app. Cortana needs more work if they want it to compete with Google Assistant and Siri. I really like the idea of being able to see my phone with the same "design language" as on my W10's. Being honest the idea is good but they need to be more practical.
The mobile industry is top priority for no reason.... Let Microsoft grow in the field it excels and it will catch on with mobile platform soon.... That's what I think!
Things that might help Microsoft: - Use the stripped downed Windows 10S for a new chain of Windows Phones instead of on laptops. (apps will grow and it's better for smaller devices, full Windows 10 works fine with cheaper laptops) - Instead of trying to be a moral Gandhi for gaming and only focus on multi platform sharing, how about do both, create amazing exclusives for Xbox only and create some games that are multi-platform. You will gain profit and respect from the gaming community. - Focus on getting windows 10 more stable. I see the priorities are really going in an odd direction. There's still much on what Windows 10 can improve, especially in the UI. The start menu is still a mess, the notifications look horrible, it's a annoying sound and ugly square popping from the right side..really? Why not a rounded bar that slides up from down right with a short jingle and fades away? Less annoying more efficient to look at. There are many quirks Microsoft still has to fix. - Create Surface laptops, computers at a more afoordable price, one of the best things Microsoft has done as of late is creating amazing new hardware, it's sad that there are no cheaper options available, also the fact that they often leave out thngs like USB C or use older video cards are weird choices. But if they can sell it for cheaper, they can get a larger audience and sell hardware that is well suited for their software. (Like Apple with the Macbook, or Google with the Pixel)
I mean its extremely frustrating for windows Phone 10, makes me want to cry literally one of the best phone OS out there trashed because the Marketing direction does not allow for the phone the pride of Microsoft to go down the drain. Here is what I suggest, let Satya Nadella allow a phone app in windows 10 desktop and arm editions so that we can enjoy making phone calls on tablets as well as allow for mobile data and perhaps allow others to use the windows operating system not only on tablet mode but use it in phone mode as well.... Just putting it out there... So frustrating and demoralizing, am even willing to come up with my own windows phone … if they only let me have that app... Here is a message for Satya Nadella, you will always be remembered as the guy who killed windows phone, the developers wont forgive you and the end phone users wont either.
No doubt powering AI is the next big thing, and only a few companies in this area can only survive the long run and in future even. Oracle, Google, IBM and Microsoft grabbing this opportunity. Their business intelligence solutions and Azure cloud services are all that Microsoft will invest their minds in and it will make their margin other than their OS.
I do not find it sad that Microsoft is more like IBM these days. They were never a big player in the hardware space outside of keyboards and mice until the Surface line. There is a plethora of tech hardware out there, and the hardware matters less than the software. There needs to be more focus on the intangibles than a slick piece of glass in your hand, and Microsoft is doing this by being following a similar business model they've always had. Create software/experiences that work regardless of the hardware it's on.
Dieter, I think you missed a significant shift in Microsoft's attitude toward Linux. This alone explains the transformation the company is going through.
What are you hoping to see next from Windows?
The Verge To be replaced by Linux
less spyware
Windows core on arm chips with push on pwa's.
The Verge Release Microsoft games on steam, already
windows phone ?
Although I use a Mac, I think Microsoft is doing much more exciting stuff, especially with their hardware. Too bad Windows Phone wasn't a success.
Mike theJedi and Macs saw drop in their sales , what's the point they are trying new things and its bound to fail a few times before u get it right
I lived in Redmond so everyone had windows phone for a bit. Sucks that it didn’t work out.
Stuff that I don't need.
Nahin Akbar stuff that u do need but u don't realise u do , remember the famous qoute of jobs people don't know what they want until u show it to them
@Nahin Akhbar Said people when we smart phone was first introduced...
This dude has the best videos and narration style. @theverge Give him a raise
Connor Anderson I totally agree. He really makes Verge exciting.
he's the editor
Terrific video Dieter. Thanks as always.
In my opinion, Microsoft is betting more on the future. Remember Satya saying: " I mean supporting actor role in a world that is increasingly digital is a very comfortable position to be in". I hope they can succeed in their hardware ventures- really love the surface book and surface studio.
vikineo ya.....u put it right
vikineo true . About that
Satya is the best CEO. Inspiration forever 🙏🙌
It's a bit sad but at the same time I kinda like where Microsoft is going. And also they should improve upon things that seem to be working like Windows, the Surface laptops etc..

the last you say in vocal booth is really intresting ans so much attractive to listn
All the fancy buzzwords are being used here.
I still believe Windows Phone is the best phone OS. It was quick, efficient and intuitive. The dev platform was the downfall imo. Xbox will bounce back in the next gen if Phil keeps it up.
And it had the dark theme natively!
I like Microsoft, they made Windows XP
Albert Gérard and windows 7
@John toetag WinXP too many bugs and security issues which lead to so many virus and vulnerability
I really like how Satya Nadella re-viewing, re-thinking, and re-making Microsoft, especially in a complex, multi-device universe of AI, cloud, and IoT. Windows works just fine on my laptops, but I also use, by default, iOS and Android on my mobiles. More importantly, these different operating systems seem to get along rather well with one another!
Very interesting video =D
I'm loving this new Microsoft! An OS that plays well with others.. Imagine that! 😉
I really enjoy the balance in this (and others alike) where you have a balance between bringing up the positive things about the company but also the struggles they´re having. Great video! :)
Facebook AI going haywire? What are you talking about? Facebook is going haywire, not its AI on its own. AI does not exist in the form you are referring to it Dieter.
It is exciting to see lots of new and good content from verge. Dieter you are the best. I love how present Microsoft thinks and they are definitely change the digital world and will set a new benchmark.
Starting 6:30 is when it becomes the usual Verge video/article. Let's just hate a bit on them, just because
I think Microsoft has embraced its true reality. Its a service company and it needs to figure out how to make money well from that. I am excited to see what new products would be coming from Microsoft that other companies could build on. I hope it does a better job at respecting users data, security and all as it pivots.
I am so early that I can read all the pointless hate comments.
Excellent video Dieter, and the right questions were asked. Glad you and Nilay still take on these discussions, keep it up!
Loved the shot inside the recording booth
I'm glad they're focusing efforts elsewhere nowadays, I liked Windows Phone and the idea of continuum but it just wasn't the right thing at that point in time, or maybe not right at all.

Well, why don't you become the CEO. You seem to have great ideas !
Anoop Asokan talking to me?
techknowledge Windows already has this the Twitter app is a web app and it was converted into a PWA
Microsoft more than any other tech giant is in a unique position where they have so many overarching technologies and enterprise presence that I don't see anyone else challenging them in this space anytime soon if really ever.
Sure Facebook does AI, Google as well but none carry the clout or broad expertise in this field and Microsoft and Satya is realizing this and pushing it to the N-th degree as they know they need to if they want to stay relevant.

I then looked at Surface Book 2 and thought... yes! that is a 2018 laptop... it's trying something innovative
So stupid that they threw Windows Phone away. I hear them talking about cross-platform but yet they don't have a mobile os.
Guy One a surface phone might be on the way.
Mike Griffin Even if it was, it wouldn't change a thing. Microsoft is not committed to the consumer market anymore.
Exactly. I wish that Windows phone would have been the popular choice instead of stupid Android.
They are talking about cross platform with platforms that already work. That means Windows compatibility with Android. I think that sounds pretty cool!

Microsoft is nothing like IBM. That's not a very smart statement.
i just love your videos man! so detailed yet simple!

A company I had always dreamed to work for as a kid
The inaccuracy of the last 2.5 minutes is incredible.

I agree with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella ambitions for the world .. lets all participate ..!!
And finally, The Verge is again truly The Verge. A good video after so long.
This was the best episode yet
Top quality video! Great work as usual Verge
PCs and Desktops are being used more and more by the day. The industry is NOT dying. Its good that Microsoft is making windows better and better.
Dieter's videos are just always my favourites. Great content as ever!
I would like to see more focus on integration between Android and Windows. Yes Microsoft lost the phone battle, and now they are taking baby steps towards integrating Android, but it still too restricted. I live my life on a Surface Pro 4, working both as my notebook in uni, as my entertainment device for those lazy nights, as my workstation coupled with an ultrawide monitor at home and even sometimes as my light gaming computer.

I'm excited with what MSFT is doing these days. Windows 10 is a major plus for my change of heart with what Windows is/was.
It’s interesting how Microsoft has really reclaimed the mantle of innovation for operating systems. Apple still makes the best hardware, but a lot of exciting and beautiful software is coming from Microsoft.
Looking at all of this makes me have mad respect for developers.
I have a lot of respect for Microsoft and their somewhat new direction. Over the past 3 or so years they have been building this strategy. I believe this cooperative strategy and focus on innovation is exciting and really something important to keep an eye on.
Literally the biggest Microsoft Fan ever... Just look at my profile pic
When microsoft talks about privacy and cyber security!!! :P
Ayan Choudhury I know. And how did he pulled off that lie. Looked kinda natural 😂
Since apple icloud nude leaked on internet
Ubuntu user here! But Windows is also good. 😂
No one cares that you use Ubuntu.
Derek Dalby K.
i care... I like ubuntu :D ^^
Excellent video. Just heard from an IBM VP today and I'm very excited with where AI is going. I love my Google Home Mini, but I'm excited for where the future of AI will take us.
Hi,Dieter! Thought provoking video but abstract to common user level.Do you think windows phone may return to phone market?
The only reason behind Microsoft became the biggest company of the world in 2018 is only Satya Nadela's microsoft vision.
The main takeaway from this video, for me, is that one of the places where Microsoft does R&D stuff is called "Bat cave"!
When i see this it doesn't really make me feel excited. It actually makes me miss the old days when I just needed a PC to print my documents and chat through Windows live Messenger etc.
I like when you said " to keep other technology companies at check" yes this is essential .... as it will benefit consumers.
The most important thing to work on for me is to redesign the Core of Windows and cleaning it up from the ground. Although that's a huge task and takes way too much time to be profitable for Microsoft.
You know on one hand I totally get the feeling a little sad part, but at the same time I am seeing Windows 10 becoming this wonderful operating system that I have always wanted it to be, which is ironic because Microsoft is apparently switching from being ALL ABOUT WINDOWS to another grander scheme.

And if you have yourself a Dell XPS with that infinity edge display? What more do you want? Maybe a 4k Dell XPS 15, with a 16:10 screen ratio (at TheVerge I winketh) hahaha
I just think Microsoft is trying to make a difference by their own way it's something new in the market . It's much more bigger than just to compete with other os or companies . I think That meeting thing has a great potential
I like that Microsoft is taking in their own direction. I feel like MS is a more company in general that's trying to appeal to more advanced users while also making more basic users become power users. The reason why I like MS so much is bc of all the power that it holds. I don't think Microsoft needs to directly compete with a Google or Apple bc those people like me who love their products will do cool.stiff with it to make others want to learn and discover all that Mr. Nadella is trying to offer
Really very interesting video.. cool stuff
I hardly am ever on My Laptop, and Windows OS has its limits of what I can do as a user. I do alot on My Smartphone than on my Laptop. I spend more time on my smartphone than on my PC or Laptop. What am saying to Microsoft is Windows Phone had a great potential of combining that barrier. Having a fully intergrated Windows OS fitting in my pocket. That is what Microsoft should have been pushing towards.
When is the Cambridge Analytica, a very human misuse of data, become a FB AI fault?! O_o
Other than that comment, great video. The recent years MS is the MS I want to see
I think Microsoft is successful in so many ways that journalists will never understand.... and I think Microsoft likes it that way. They let Apple bash them for years, and still hold the lionshare of users worldwide. Sony sold an incredible amount of PS4 hardware this generation... Peopla all over the internet wondering if Microsoft will shut down Xbox, while they're making billions. LOL .. People wondering why they invest in features for Xbox and Windows crossplay. Drives engagement, which drives software, and services sales. Microsft doesn't want to sell you an Xbox or Win10 machine you don't actually use. Microsoft is a software and services company. Everything is in service of Windows. Azure, Xbox... Everything....
Xcentr1cK true . Now a days people just don't get things right . They just don't understand what Microsoft is doing . They just start comparing with Google and apple . The way Microsoft have turn things around that's we call " smart " strategy . I think Microsoft is getting ready for some thing big .

I agree
A Sony or Apple strategy would not be ideal for Microsoft... It would work... But Xbox was always intended to show off the power of DirectX.. To get people to use their Dev tools, and their OS, and servers. Xbox is doing its job... That being said... We all know Microsoft wishes that scalebound & fable legends weren't cancelled and were huge successes... And I agree. And I wish sea of thieves had more things and adventures to find... That being said... Microsoft is in no danger of shutting down Xbox, it's aligned perfectly with company goals and while it could be doing better... Xbox execs are being hired and promoted... Shows confidence.
loved that they bring back windows phone,I had the nokia lumia 620, the problem was that they had no app.
Please Satya:
- Sell your hardware outside the US
- Get rid of OEMS
- Optimize W10 for non SSD laptops
- Stop scraping projects.
- Get rid of XAML
I think the important thing Microsoft's doing is putting their best apps & services into another OS. While customers become accustomed to Microsoft's services, Windows becomes a powerful assistant/ core for their work. Cortana will be smarter, AI will be embedded slowly into windows. And there may be a lightweight/cheaper version for educational computers/ ARM laptops. More features more powers!
3:08 The door mat is sick!!
It's an interesting approach, I use Windows apps and find it really useful even sometimes trumping Google or Apple apps
Great video Dieter!
I like Satya and of course want Microsoft to prosper, but that demo of using Halolens to find faulty HVAC sensors is the epitome of Microsad.
It's just an example of things you can go. Microsoft and other companies are definitely using it for more than just that. For example, architects are using it to build and explore a rendering of their creation so they can fix or adjust things before construction begins.
I liked a lot this video and the way it approached the changes at Microsoft, showing how it is still relevant beyond what topically people looks at to measure tech success. (PD he avoided the responsibility questions haha)
Well done on this video!
Really well done
I hope they will be a dominant force in AR/VR hololens and Windows Mixed reality r really great hope the platform continue to get good developer and third party support
May the best competitor win. Also watch the face-to-face interview portion at .5 speed.
Love Dieter
I'd love to see The Verge do something similar with Cisco in the collaboration realm (Google as well). The office meeting experience has become extremely competitive.
Everyone is hating on Satya cause he didn't focus much on consumer electronics, aka,A SMARTPHONE. But he's keeping Microsoft alive! It's market valuation doubled in 5 years! Like are you kidding me! Such blind hated.
THIS is the difference between Apple and the rest. Apple tries to make EVERYTHING theirs, but others try to make EVERYTHING else work with what they have. They are the ones who truly make our lives easier and just more intuitive.
Really I've been following Microsoft for last decade like their take on Android OS to just simply quitting it. They're trying to make a difference by doing things differently and yeah we can see that in their recent product lines. But I see the real question here should be who's gonna ensure that those core and ethical principles are being adhered?
well, i think microsoft should try (or encourage) people to work on more "well done products"... the market is flooded with bad hardware and software, and i think the app store from apple is a game change, if microsoft does something like it (easy to develop and also optimized to work with windows), i think there's no way to argue to not use a windows, or work with windows
but, i am so happy with all the updates of windows 10... i've fallen in love with this OS.
it's nice to see they are focusing on security
Awesome view!
Amazing video and interview
1:43 They are doing exactly the opposite of what's Apple doing... two thumbs up for that! :D
I think Microsoft can do better in the mobile area but of course without implementing a new OS. For example I'm trying the Microsoft Launcher and I have to say that I really enjoy what they had made with the app. Cortana needs more work if they want it to compete with Google Assistant and Siri. I really like the idea of being able to see my phone with the same "design language" as on my W10's. Being honest the idea is good but they need to be more practical.
How about not having to pay for basic programs like word
Windows phone your soo missed
I have never seen a contact app like windows phone,that lumia camera app,and that keyboard
Also tiles aren’t that bad when they actually are well programmed for it’s purpose and not to just start an app.
What's up with the music around 5:10? I thought Satya was about to pause and look away to say "Can you stop doing that?" at someone.
The mobile industry is top priority for no reason.... Let Microsoft grow in the field it excels and it will catch on with mobile platform soon.... That's what I think!
Yessssssssssssssss! Now this is my kind of Verge video.
Things that might help Microsoft:
- Use the stripped downed Windows 10S for a new chain of Windows Phones instead of on laptops. (apps will grow and it's better for smaller devices, full Windows 10 works fine with cheaper laptops)
- Instead of trying to be a moral Gandhi for gaming and only focus on multi platform sharing, how about do both, create amazing exclusives for Xbox only and create some games that are multi-platform. You will gain profit and respect from the gaming community.
- Focus on getting windows 10 more stable. I see the priorities are really going in an odd direction. There's still much on what Windows 10 can improve, especially in the UI. The start menu is still a mess, the notifications look horrible, it's a annoying sound and ugly square popping from the right side..really? Why not a rounded bar that slides up from down right with a short jingle and fades away? Less annoying more efficient to look at. There are many quirks Microsoft still has to fix.
- Create Surface laptops, computers at a more afoordable price, one of the best things Microsoft has done as of late is creating amazing new hardware, it's sad that there are no cheaper options available, also the fact that they often leave out thngs like USB C or use older video cards are weird choices. But if they can sell it for cheaper, they can get a larger audience and sell hardware that is well suited for their software. (Like Apple with the Macbook, or Google with the Pixel)
Wrong caption that is DJI instead of DGI. DJI stands for Da Jiang Inspiration.
I mean its extremely frustrating for windows Phone 10, makes me want to cry literally one of the best phone OS out there trashed because the Marketing direction does not allow for the phone the pride of Microsoft to go down the drain. Here is what I suggest, let Satya Nadella allow a phone app in windows 10 desktop and arm editions so that we can enjoy making phone calls on tablets as well as allow for mobile data and perhaps allow others to use the windows operating system not only on tablet mode but use it in phone mode as well.... Just putting it out there... So frustrating and demoralizing, am even willing to come up with my own windows phone … if they only let me have that app... Here is a message for Satya Nadella, you will always be remembered as the guy who killed windows phone, the developers wont forgive you and the end phone users wont either.
No doubt powering AI is the next big thing, and only a few companies in this area can only survive the long run and in future even. Oracle, Google, IBM and Microsoft grabbing this opportunity. Their business intelligence solutions and Azure cloud services are all that Microsoft will invest their minds in and it will make their margin other than their OS.
The 3 principles, first is privacy. Right, Windows doesn't respect privacy once so ever.
So does the platform in which you are typing this comment on, or that one where you will post your daily poop updates.
I do not find it sad that Microsoft is more like IBM these days. They were never a big player in the hardware space outside of keyboards and mice until the Surface line. There is a plethora of tech hardware out there, and the hardware matters less than the software. There needs to be more focus on the intangibles than a slick piece of glass in your hand, and Microsoft is doing this by being following a similar business model they've always had. Create software/experiences that work regardless of the hardware it's on.
Superb video
Dieter, I think you missed a significant shift in Microsoft's attitude toward Linux. This alone explains the transformation the company is going through.
sincerely i expect a place more beautiful
