Satya said that Microsoft is all about Cloud and Mobile. So most probably we will be seeing more Microsoft Cloud Services, and more Microsoft Mobile Hardware.
Which is why neither one was named CEO.
I don't think most board members are even experienced enough to run a tech company. They are usually from the financial/economics background. You ideally want someone with an engineering background to run a software/technology company
Don't judge all "shareholders" on the minority.
lol, aren't all those divisions making money currently?
Sorry, not gunna happen Xbox has been a cash cow.
XBOX is interesting in that it does make money
What about attracting those teenagers toward the rest of Microsoft's ecosystem? It might be better if those users decide to stay with Microsoft's 'professional' products/services once they are adults, rather than letting them choose Android/Apple instead.Why would selling off the Xbox division be a mistake? It really detracts from the core focus of Microsoft of being an Enterprise, PC desktop/laptop and mobile devices company. All Xbox One does is add brand recognition to a bunch of teenagers from whom very little revenue is derived. As WP has proven, Xbox live on the phone is next to worthless so really the whole living room trojan horse goal has fizzled out. At this point MS would be well served to get rid of Xbox and sell it to whoever wants it so they can get back to focusing on PC + mobile gaming.

The PlayStation is also one of Sony's more profitable divisions
Xbox has been a modest success for Microsoft (xbox360 turned a small profit...
It was on Flipboard a couple of days ago but I just tried to find it and lost it. The article had something to do with Sony getting out of the PC business and other divisions that are struggling, to focus on the ones that are doing well, and the PlayStation was among those mentioned. Likewise, the Xbox is a healthy division of MS that it would be a mistake to get rid of.
