Satya Nadella: Windows 10 is a service, not an operating system

If you want to understand how the CEO of Microsoft sees future of the company, there may be no better source than his remarks to LinkedIn employees this week.

Following a surprise announcement from Microsoft that he had agreed to pay 26 billions of dollars in cash to acquire social networking service, Nadella spoke with LinkedIn employees in a meeting with them.SATYA NADELLA

This week, LinkedIn filed a copy of this meeting, which included Satya Nadella's speech.

Following the praise of LinkedIn and his employees, Satya Nadella made a surprise statement.

The CEO of the company sees very differently the role of Windows in a world where technology is constantly evolving.

“We are not developing an operating system for a single device. When I think about them , the way I understand it is that we're developing an operating system for all devices," Nadella said.

"It simply came to our notice then. The Windows update is probably the biggest service we have, as it reaches 1,5 billion devices every day, and our goal is to really change the definition of the operating system. ”

Even more interesting was the CEO's point of view when he spoke and acknowledged Microsoft's apparent failure in mobile:

"And there's no question we've lost on mobile. We understand them, and we have a special place for today's mobiles that are more relevant to businesses, where we need to have more security, more , greater productivity, and we're going to focus on that, we're close to the next big thing.”

And what is this? big thing?

“The idea that we can bring it and VR is something we're very excited about," said Satya Nadella.

“Think of an infinite screen where what you see is not just the analog world, but a world into which you can project digitally . That's a whole new medium, and that's what HoloLens does."

So, in addition to for HoloLens, get ready to view your LinkedIn profile on a giant AR screen.
