The first sentence in the article is this:
> “The operating system is no longer the most important layer for us,” was the message from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella yesterday.
But I can't tell if he actually said those exact words, or if that was the message that The Verge writers interpreted him as saying. If he didn't say those exact words, it's a bit dishonest for The Verge to lead with that sentence, in quotes, as if he's quoted as saying that.
- iamaelephant 7y agoI agree it's ambiguous. I found the original quote in the referenced Wired article and it is indeed a quote, >Later on I ask Nadella the same question, and he zooms out even further. “The operating system is no longer the most important layer for us,” he says. “What is most important for us is the app model and the experience. How people are going to write apps for Duo and Neo will have a lot more to do with each other than just writing a Windows app or an Android app, because it’s going to be about the Microsoft graph.” https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-surface-duo-neo-phone/ https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-surface-duo-neo-phone/
- amanzi 7y agoAh - thanks. Interesting to read that quote in context of the discussion. Not sure we can extrapolate too much from it, but still an interesting position for the Windows CEO to state.
