Let's see, under Nadella's tenure since April 2014, Microsoft:
- releases Windows 10 (2015)
- releases hololens (2015)
- buys Mohjang (2015)
- launches VSCode (2015)
- buys LinkedIn (2015), integrates it into Exchange
- releases Teams (2016) to compete with Slack
- launches Office 365 to compete with GSuite (2017)
- Azure IoT (2018)
- Acquires Github (2018)
- Acquires Zenimax (2020)
- X Box Seres S/X (2020)
- Chrome-based Edge
- launches Windows 11 (2021)
- Buys Activision/Blizzard (2023)
- OpenAI partnership/investment
I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of impactful things too. We might not like what Microsoft is doing, but it's acquisitions have been brilliant, it's released a lot of impactful open source stuff like VSCode, and it has embraced linux-derived technologies.
- rvba 2y agoNew releases of Windows 11 are nothing special? Expected? Teams is worse than Lync after so many years, the interface is still rubbish. Hololens is one of those products without a market and rest are just acquisitions. The quality of products (in my opinion) is down. I can see multiple ways where they negatively impact productivity.
- suprjami 2y agoSo new releases of its flagship product, buying a bunch of companies who already had their own product, a reskin of Chromium, and Teams. You've convinced me that Microsoft are actually doing much worse than I previously thought.
