Nadella has made a few key changes, for example exempting internal product teams from having to consider Windows as the only OS to develop for, changed the incentive structure for sales to avoid pushing products enterprises didn't care about etc... When you're a CEO your success is usually not dependent by flashy all in decisions, especially if you're managing a giant company like MS. You are successful by setting policies that allow your talent to do more of the right stuff, your sales folks to sell more and better etc ...
- Amezarak 8y agoAll those things are great and I'm glad they're doing them, but I'm not convinced they make MS a more successful company in the long run.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI think they are in danger of neglecting Windows too much to the point of people leaving the platform. I personally wouldn't recommend Windows anymore. And almost nobody who isn't using Windows will use azure or .NET Core.
- commanderjroc 8y agoI completely disagree, using .NET Core on non-windows machines has a lot of upsides. I use linux almost exclusively and .NET Core has just worked and is way more perform-ant out the box than java or node has been.
- nicoburns 8y ago> And almost nobody who isn't using Windows will use azure or .NET Core. I disagree with this too. I've been looking into .NET Core since it's been open sourced. And I'd consider Azure. But I certainly won't be using windows (for server stuff) unless I'm forced to.
