its already happeningquote:At multinational firms like network-equipment giant Cisco Systems Inc., CSCO +0.64% Apple is going mainstream. Cisco in 2009 adopted a "bring your own device" policy under which employees purchase their own phones and tablets, with Cisco paying the wireless bill in certain instances. Now, iPhones and iPads account for nearly three-fourths of the 70,000-plus mobile devices supported by Cisco's tech department. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304244904579278560822979176

I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up I’ve been using a Windows Phone since Windows Phone 7 shipped, and for many years before that (with the exception on 1 year on the iPhone 3GS) I used Windows Mobile. Indeed my history with Microsoft’s mobile offerings goes back to the original Handheld PC followed by a number of Pocket PCs. So for the last few years, with the occasional complaint , I’ve worked around Windows Phone’s so-called App Gap. It hasn’t been pleasant. And now I have hit an app requirement that doesn’t appear to have a workaround. One that might drive me to Android, if not back to an iPhone. There is no Windows Phone application for the Honeywell Total Connect 2.0 security system. There is one for the iPhone, Android, and (get this) Blackberry. The website requires Apple QuickTime, so that isn’t an answer. In fact if you go to the website with WP8.1 it thinks you are on a Blackberry and tells you to download the Blackberry app! There is a third party app. Many users report trouble getting it to work, and even those who rate it highly say it has very limited function. Basically you can arm or disarm. But that isn’t the only reason I need to access my system, so the app (even if it works) is inadequate. Further, it costs $2.99 and there is no trial. Ordinarily I wouldn’t have bothered downloading it, but I wanted to see for myself. So now I’m down $2.99. The app works, but won’t do what I need. So I’m S O L. Of course moving off Windows Phone would bring other benefits, like being able to control my SONOS (another case of inadequate third-party apps not really filling the gap) or sync my Fitbit without using my wife’s iPhone. Or actually get a smartwatch. Or run a dozen or more other apps where I’ve resigned myself to struggling with a website for the last few years. Of course some of these things are coming to Windows Phone. Eventually. Maybe. I mean, Uber finally made it this week. Finally. Are the other things imminent? Who knows. They could appear next month, or I could get someone pregnant and see my child graduate high school first. Someone said that to me recently and I thought they were joking, now I’m not so sure. So I’ve finally fallen into the app gap. And as long as I stay on Windows Phone it seems I can’t get up. I’m done fighting, tomorrow I’ll probably get a Samsung Galaxy S 5. Lemming seems like a fine label to wear right now.

I also want to share some additional thoughts on Xbox and its importance to Microsoft. As a large company, I think it's critical to define the core, but it's important to make smart choices on other businesses in which we can have fundamental impact and success. The single biggest digital life category, measured in both time and money spent, in a mobile-first world is gaming. We are fortunate to have Xbox in our family to go after this opportunity with unique and bold innovation. Microsoft will continue to vigorously innovate and delight gamers with Xbox. Xbox is one of the most-revered consumer brands, with a growing online community and service, and a raving fan base. We also benefit from many technologies flowing from our gaming efforts into our productivity efforts – core graphics and NUI in Windows, speech recognition in Skype, camera technology in Kinect for Windows, Azure cloud enhancements for GPU simulation and many more. Bottom line, we will continue to innovate and grow our fan base with Xbox while also creating additive business value for Microsoft. the fact that he separates it from the rest of the core businesses tells me that if things go south in xbox or doesn't make enough money, they'll get rid of it

the whole letter is full of bullshit but thats how these things are written and thats why that defense just highlights some positive aspects of xbox. if they aren't ready to make a decision on whether to axe it or not then he obviously has to be positive about it. they just launched xbox one so they probly wanna see how things shake out before they make a decision. but reading that part makes it clear that xbox isn't on the same footing as the rest of the stuff he talked about before that

Amethyst posted:you really oversold this poo poo cremob. Here's the deal. I need to use a variety of devices regularly. I need to test Microsoft's solutions on these devices, and I need to experience and write about what Apple, Google, Amazon and other companies are doing on these devices too. But when push comes to shove, when confronted by that desert island question—i.e. "if you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one smart phone..."—the answer is simple. Lumia 1520. Windows Phone. That could change. I mean, obviously that will change. It's possible that a future Lumia—the Lumia 830, perhaps, or a coming flagship—could alter my preferences. And it's even possible that future advances to Android and/or iOS and specific new rival devices could push me towards a different future. That's life. But today? Foreseeable future? Windows Phone. So relax, please. This thing is bigger than all of us. The iPhone 6/6 Plus are important. They're popular devices. They're excellent handsets. I'm going to write about them. I'm going to use them. It's OK. But I keep looking over at the Lumia 1520. Don't worry, big guy. I miss you.
