As a consumer, I am now no longer interested in MS apps or services, and am now figuring out whether to switch to Android (and Google's apps and services) or Apple. Windows Azure, Microsofts IaaS and PaaS cloud computing could services slip given that Nadellas attention will be now more broadly distributed. That was more true in the 1980's than it is today. Now change the proud tradition, established by your founder Bill. I searched (and still do and I don't know why) every day looking for the next MS mobile phone such a waste of time. To hell with MS.

Surface had a solid fourth quarter in 2013, taking in $893 million on revenue. Gates got it because he understood to compete in the technical arena you must cover the landscape with product. MS has basically managed Windows Phone in the same light. The key difference is that the former is a reputation of perpetually stunted progress, vs a reputation of continuous progress.

Prior to that, Nadella was Microsoft EVP of the cloud and enterprise group. Of course it was a mistake Nutella. The kids are seeing a daily dose of Apple and Chrome.

When I read #HitRefresh it means kick the most loyal catagory of Windows Fans in the teeth in the mobile catagory. As Windows XP ages, it holds off future PC purchases and makes companies that use it less secure. Besides it offers some features copied in the latest iPhone x. So, you know, keep the Surface division growing at triple digit percentages for the next few years. I have stayed with Windows phone since the first version came out and now suddenly knowing that MS is abondoning this platform has caused me anguished and lose faith completely in MS.

Nor do the actual sales numbers, consistently the demand for Lumias exceeded sales in Asia and Europe, they could have capitalized on it. Keep up the great work Windows Central team. I see very very dark days ahead for Microsoft and guess what YOU DESERVE IT! Worse, it would still not have theMOBILE apps that iOS and Androidhave. Most of us have probably embraced the new ideas at the Build pep rallys only to find out 24 months later that it was nothing more than an infomercial using many of us as the foot soldiers for the revenue stream. Amazon does it. Now, even if the next big thing coming from Microsoft will be awesome, gorgeous, stellar everybody will ask themselves: "Is this thing going to last at least for 2 years? Why even would they drop the already established product? Instead it will just make them more comfortable with iOS or Android since they can get the best of both worlds. Nonetheless, ValueAct was persistent enough to earn a seat on the Microsoft corporate board, which it will occupy next month. I am PISSED. Congratulations, you got lucky.

I'm worried about the state of the software. The PC market could face materially worse returns than expected. that Microsoft would fill in the mobile device space. It seems he does not consider the consequences and we consumers are the ones paying the price.

But I've seen it time and time again in previous articles. I was MS biggest cheer leader. And you know what two years back they seemed to really start to look cool. But what was the point while Microsoft was sending contrary and mixed signals all the long. And then they decided to destroy it all. This has been the stated direction of MS since Bill Gates annouced his vision 20+ years ago. But it that is true, why did they kill Groove? Now I'm left with an unfinished project and what future? Having bought and ditched Nokia, I think MSFT's strategy was clear. I have been Microsoft everything since the DOS days, not anymore.
