Nadella lost sight of the goal. Windows 7 was Ballmer.

Nadella more than 10x'ed the value of Microsoft. I doubt many MS execs think it was the wrong call to move Windows work to the B team.

EDIT: somehow people seem to think I'm defending MS here. I'm not, I'm concurring that MS willingly turned Windows to shit (by moving it to the B team) because they thought they could earn more money elsewhere (and they were right). I don't like it, but I bet the people who got filthy rich over it do.

That mindset is why every tech product is turning to shit. They're not consumer focused. All Nadella cares about is making the stock price go up and extracting value.

Stock price does not equal good software. Quite the opposite because your trying to exploit the end user for more profit.

I'm assuming they were referring to a non-monetary goal.

Through Azure, Office, LinkedIn, gaming. Not so much Windows.
