A focus on Microsoft's Terry Myerson's 'phone' comments and a dose of common sense

[Windows Central]

On Wednesday, March 30, 2016, Microsoft's Windows chief Terry Myerson gave candid answers to the Verge's Tom Warren regarding Microsoft's phone position.

"We're fully committed to that 4-inch screen, there will be a time for it to be our focus, but right now it's part of the family, but it's not the core of where I hope to generate developer interest over the next year."
​

When viewing Myerson's comments in part or outside of the context of the mobile strategy that Microsoft's CEO communicated in the Summer of 2015, his remarks can be easily misinterpreted. Given the myriad host of negative headlines and commentary on social media that has arisen in the wake of the Verge's piece, this is exactly what has happened.
In this article, we will address what Myerson said within the context of Microsoft's mobile strategy. This strategy, as we know, is currently in a state of retrenchment from the general consumer space while Microsoft works on building the ecosystem that supports the entire Universal Windows Platform.

This article will not be an in-depth analytical piece that challenges your intellect. Nor will it be an emotional appeal to your anecdotal experiences. Here, I'm simply going to appeal to your common sense.
