The delicate situation of Microsoft's mobile ecosystem: the general opinion of the company's shareholders
Yesterday we commented on how IDC had made public some figures in which the Redmond mobile ecosystem was not exactly doing very wellA situation that we remember stated that by the year 2020 (two years from now) the situation of Windows Phone in the market was going to be anecdotal.
And it is that the state of form of the Redmond mobile platform has been the protagonist in the annual meeting with shareholders in which from Microsoft they face the questions and doubts that present the company.A meeting that this year featured Windows Phone.
Please mute all Windows phones and other devices seems to have been welcomed at the start of the party as the friendly tone it disappeared when some of those present questioned Microsoft&39;s position on the mobile division."
In this sense, they asked Nadella, in a more or less accelerated tone, what is the situation and position of the company regarding to the mobile ecosystem when they come hearing that little by little they are leaving aside that branch of the company.
And Satya Nadella's response was concise, so he just stated that Microsoft's goal isto bring a new product to market:
Satya Nadella was also asked about the company's vision for consumer devices, especially as regards to the application market situation:
An enigmatic response from Satya Nadella very much in line with the position that has been used in the company for some time now . And it seems that it is clear that from Redmond they have thrown in the towel in the race to compete with Android and iOS in markets where these platforms and their proposals are almost unattainable.
So at this point in the movie we don't know which way Microsoft can go, what exactly is it working on . We only have a few rumors that the company is looking to boost the use of x86 applications in Continuum, but we know little else.
We will have to be attentive to the company's next moves to try to clarify which paths to take. A delicate situation and it is that seeing what we have seen What do you think of the current situation of Microsoft in the mobile world? Do you see the complicated situation as stated in IDC or do you think Is there room for improvement?
