If you want to understand how the CEO of Microsoft sees Satya Nadella 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.
This week, LinkedIn filed one copy of said meeting, which also includes 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.
“Δεν αναπτύσσουμε ένα λειτουργικό σύστημα για μια μόνο συσκευή. Όταν σκέφτομαι τα Windows 10, ο τρόπος με τον οποίο το καταλαβαίνω είναι ότι αναπτύσσουμε ένα λειτουργικό σύστημα για όλες τις Appliances,” 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 is no issue that we lost on mobile phones. We understand that, and we have a special place for today's mobiles that is more business-related, where we need to have more security, more management, more productivity, and we will focus on that, we are close to the next big thing. ”
And is this next big thing?
"The idea that we can bring AR and VR is something we are very excited about," said Satya Nadella.
“Think of an infinite screen where what you see is not just the analog world, but a world in which you can project digital objects. This is a whole new medium this, and it's doing it HoloLens. "
So, in addition to Minecraft for HoloLens, get ready to view your LinkedIn profile on a giant AR screen.
