<h1 style="text-align: center;">DEBATE - microsoft strategy</h1>
<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] 2 veteran industry journalists debate the merits of wether the new microsoft CEO can execute upon his strategy to take microsoft forward</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY - PRO's]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Cloud-based services are firing on all cylinders. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">] Mobile apps are everywhere. Office 365, OneDrive, Skype, and the rest of Microsoft&rsquo;s app portfolio are on every platform that matters and continually&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">improving.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">] Enterprise software is a solid legacy business that can fund a lot of improvement.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">] </span>With Azure and Bing, Microsoft has proven it can be agile. The next step is to transfer that culture to the rest of the company.</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY NOT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] The jury&rsquo;s still out on Surface and Lumia. But overall the company is capable of paying for some serious transformation.</li>
<li>] <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">to make "Microsoft &hellip; the productivity and platform company for&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-ceo-nadella-we-will-reinvent-productivity-7000031455/">the mobile-first and cloud-first world</a>" assumes that Microsoft can become a&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">mobile and cloud powerhouse. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Why should we believe that? <br /></span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Android has 85% of smartphones, windows has 3%<br /></span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">] </span><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/amazon-and-microsoft-top-gartners-iaas-magic-quadrant-7000030141/" target="_blank">Azure is doing OK</a>, but Amazon Web Services (AWS) is still the 800-pound gorilla of the cloud. &nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Now, Azure is good, but good enough to overcome AWS -- and the boundless enthusiasm for the OpenStack cloud from VMware, Oracle, Red Hat, and a host of other companies? </span>No.</li>
<li>] Despite <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/windows-8-x-usage-declines-7000031181/" target="_blank">Windows 8.x's market failure</a>, I'm sure Microsoft will still dominate the desktop throughout the 20-teens, but keeping control of that moribund market isn't the goal. Microsoft's new goals seem beyond Nadella's grasp.</li>
