I'm assuming that Satya's strategy is targeting Microsoft platforms only.
Satya's strategy encourages platform lock-in (which is good for Microsoft), but at this point Microsoft needs to encourage consumers to buy the thing to make it worth developing for; even if it's just a different front-end.
Ballmers strategy trades the lock-in for something that solves the chicken and egg problem and removes a huge advantage that android has over windows phone.

- dewiz 11y agoAbsolutely, eh . Sorry about that. Satya's work has been great so far, the continuous flow of news about open source and cross platform support is what many were hoping for.
