...and nothing more.
Analyst Daniel Ives mentioned that the “three major fundamental and strategic changes” made by Nadella...STOP!
1. Closing Out Nokia. This wasn't Nadella's idea, it was the idea from the Beginning...
answer: As for the recent layoffs was the plan from the beginning. MS never intended to keep Nokia mobile and to prove this, if you remember Stephen Elop the "CEO" of Nokia Mobility was looking for a Job the minute the Venture started, remember...he applied for the CEO position.
2. In addition, Microsoft has undertaken significant headcount reductions in order to grow free cash flow and margins...
answer: This was inevitable, considering that as soon as they achieved the Windows 10 design that was in process long before Nadella came into CEO. However, most of the cuts came from Nokia.
3. Windows 10 unveiling.
answer: This is equivalent to someone standing in for you at the closing of the sale. In other words, the deal was done, all you're there for is to bring the champagne.
Steve Ballmer put all what you see into place long before Satya Nadella was even a consideration for CEO.
The Cloud was set into motion long before Satya Nadella was even a consideration for CEO.
If Windows 10 would have finished on time Ballmer would be the Hero and he is, and to accept the award for Ballmer is Satya Nadella...and that's a fact!
sidenote: Give credit where credit is due, Satya Nadella's cloud division rose 8%...woohoo, that should be 50% if not 100% considering that systems are almost completely cloud based. Don't toot your horn too fast Satya because you got work to do...
•Office consumer revenue declined 13%
•Office commercial revenue declined 2%
•Windows OEM revenue (sales to Lenovo, HP, etc.) declined 6%
•Surface sales declined 26%
•Mobile phone sales declined 54%
•Despite announcing 18,000 layoffs previously, another 1,000 new layoffs were also announced
Satya...here's a hint...Amazon...
