As reported in a Business Insider article, Nadela spoke of "an operating system that covers all screen sizes."
"We will normalize the next version of Windows, from three operating systems to a single operating system, for screens of all sizes," he added, adding that in the past "we had multiple teams working on different versions of Windows. Now we have a team with a common architecture. This allows us to scale, creating Universal Windows Apps. "

As the article highlights, the company will continue to sell different versions of its operating systems (for example, Windows Pro, Windows Enterprise, etc.), but the similarities will be much more than the differences, with Nadela promising consolidation of stores and platforms for trade and developers.
The company reported a 7% drop in revenue in the second quarter of the year, to $ 4,6 billion, while in the same period last year it stood at 4,97. An important role in this seems to have been played by the acquisition of the Nokia device division, which, according to Microsoft, recorded losses of $ 692 million.
