There are a lot of people with doom and gloom attitude, well take heart and realise that everything Microsoft are doing and have done recently is to make and deliver us fantastic devices, services and experiences. Lets look at the evidence, feel free to add what ive missed!
MS purchases one of the great mobile manufacturers - When you buy a company that large its impossible to roll out devices the following week, something people expect to happen. The fact that MS now have 100% access to everything is amazing and will result in tight devices, amazing tech with amazing OS.
MS replace Balmer with Satya - The best thing to happen to MS in years, Satya has vision, drive, clarity and is a realist.
MS announce internal restructure - This is perhaps the single most important thing - Historically the structure of the teams at MS has led to the teams not readily sharing their knowledge with other teams and that leads to inferior products and services. The reorganisation will enable MS to squeeze the best out of everything.
MS IP - MS has a LOT of amazing IP and access to technology that others do not have. This tech will be on our devices over the next few years. Up to this point in time MS has been behind and playing catch up to the other 2, they have caught up and we will see true innovation coming though soon.
All in all its exciting times ahead, I have a saying which is... "if you walk through life carrying a hammer, your going to see an awful lot of nails" which means that whatever you focus on you see more of it, yes we can focus on the negatives, just don't lose sight of the reasons for that. Great times are coming and im actually really excited to see and be part of this WP future!
