This is possibly strategy at its best! Worlds, fiercest software company reversing it’s
fundamental ideology, it’s very business principles, it’s core strategy, – entering into hardware, with their new
laptop, in head on competition with
Apple, the best in that game. Congrats Satya Nadella! Though all articles and
reports in leading papers and TV shows hailed you as new Indian techie who
understood cloud better, and hence said your war paraphernalia was the most lucrative, star wars of ever
expanding cloud - you showed the guts to make such a call albeit not on cloud!!
Narayan Murthy couldn’t do in his second innings, lacked the verve the grit... .

Copying someone’s game and beating them down in their home
ground is Microsoft’s core strength. By the way, MS came into existence that
way. From their OS, Browser to office suite ... none is its very own creation
in an ordinary sense of creation. Bill
Gates could not have done this reversal of principles. Not so when Steve was
still alive at least. That would be like accepting defeat at a soul level and
would have proved Hegelian ideology wrong!. Face well saved.
Anyways lets watch the game. I have my own doubts... they
have lost many battles. Why how about Bing? Where is their mobile OS? ...
