????納德拉說：“從我的數據、我的需求、我的任務中發掘更有意義的訊息——在我看來，這就是Office的未來。”

????納德拉承認，微軟在不斷下滑的個人電腦業務和迅速被移動設備占據的計算業務占據的市場份額存在顯著差異，前者為90%。（他承認，微軟在橫跨所有設備的市場份額僅有14%。）

????他說：“要在這樣一個移動優先的世界自由穿行，我們還需要做大量工作。”

????這就是為什么這家公司這么專注于云計算這種連接所有互聯網連接設備的構架。納德拉說：“我們在云計算方面的目標是，確保我們的云計算和云應用程序出現在全球每臺設備之上。”他隨后補充說，微軟衡量成功的方式是查看一臺設備的主屏幕。

????云無法解決人們的問題，但它能夠讓其他服務和工具完成這件事情。這就是微軟專注于云的原因所在。他說：“這是一個由云協調的世界。”

????微軟正是通過這種方式進入新生的可穿戴市場。不是嘗試著發明新的東西，納德拉說，微軟可以拉伸、調整它最知名的產品：Windows。

????“Making more sense out of my data, my needs, my tasks—to me, that’s the future of Office,” Nadella said.

????Nadella acknowledged the disparity between Microsoft’s market share in the declining PC business—90%—and its market share in a computing business that has quickly been dominated by mobile devices. (Microsoft enjoys just 14% share across all devices, he conceded.)

????“We have a lot of work to do still as we navigate this mobile-first world,” he said.

????Which is why the company is so focused on the cloud, the fabric that connects all Internet-connected devices. “Our goal with the cloud is to make sure that our cloud and our cloud applications are available on every device in the world,” Nadella said, adding that the company measures its success by looking at the home screen of a device.

????The cloud doesn’t solve people’s problems, but it enables other services and tools to do so. That’s why Microsoft is focused on it. “It’s a cloud-orchestrated world,” he said.

????Which is how the company is approaching the nascent wearables market. Instead of trying to invent something new, Nadella said, Microsoft can stretch and adapt its best-known product: Windows.

????“When we think about Windows, we want to think of it as a broad platform, from wearables to industrial IoT platforms to PCs and tablets,” he said, using the acronym for Internet of Things. Still, “Windows for us will always be the device experience,” and Microsoft can experiment firsthand thanks to its acquisition of Nokia’s devices business.

????“Our hope is to bring these experiences around productivity from the small screen to the large screen,” he said. At its peak, one of the things Microsoft did best was when it brought developers and IT professionals together. “We don’t over-index on just one constituent,” Nadella said. “That’s our magic.”

????But Microsoft can’t rely on history to move forward. “Windows as we know of it has to change,” he said. Windows is already on the gaming console and the mobile phone. “But is it the Windows that we booted up on our PCs at home five, 10 years ago?” Nadella asked. “No.”

????On strategy and culture

????Microsoft needs to focus on its productivity core. Does the Xbox group fit into Nadella’s vision? The chief executive hedged a bit.

????“Xbox isn’t that far from [the core],” Naella said. “We can do a few more things than the core. But the point is, you’ve got to have a culture to do it.”

????In other words, you can’t treat the Xbox division like an operating systems group, he said.

????“I want us to be comfortable to be proud of Xbox, to give it the air cover of Microsoft,” Nadella said, “but at the same time not confuse it with our core.”

????Though “you need to have places you can incubate things,” you also need to “innovate from the core,” he said. It’s how Microsoft will be renewed again.

????“We are good at productivity and platforms—but rethink it,” he said. “That’s not a side project, that is the very company itself.”

????He peered out over the audience. “Until we really change culturally, no renewal happens.”
