Nadella: Stop what you're doing. Time for step three.
MS devs: But sir, that would mean we extinguish our own OS ecosystem, our bread and butter, the thing we build everything upon, the reason why people love us.
Nadella: Do it! I only know 1-2-3.
- 1_player 5y agoYeah, I don't understand how people say the heavy push towards Edge, crappy addons and pervasive analytics is some middle-manager that needs to increase their performance metrics, and not an executive order coming from the top. As if Nadella is the reason why Microsoft has been gaining mind-share and good will with developers, but Windows becoming more and more spyware has nothing to do with him at all. It's all part of their internal strategy, and it's coming from Satya Nadella himself. If he doesn't know what's going on at his company, that's even more damning for him.
- kreeben 5y agoOf course it is coming from Satya. Of course it is. Of course. Satya seems to believe AI is the new cloud. To businesses he speaks about how AI improves his software, how it makes it smarter, more inherently customizable to each and every company's needs and in doing so he's riding the AI wave, perfectly. Satya decides to create an Edge wave. Make Edge default in all OS related hyper text. Then he rides the Edge wave with BNPL. Then he talks to the Bing team. They're not getting enough attention, they say. I'll fix that, Satya says. Then he talks to the Windows team. "I need to ride your wave, baby", he says.
