The END of WINDOWS EVERYWHERE! Is that really what Nadella wants?

Frank N. Stein

It's not odd for Nadella to kill Windows Mobile before Windows 10 arrives. Everyone thought of Elop as the "Trojan Horse", but what if Nadella is actually the "Trojan Horse". What if his killing off of Windows Mobile is actually going to cause more uptake of Mac OS and iOS. Kinda funny that iOS and Mac OS work so well together in the way that Windows 8.1 and Windows Mobile were "supposed" to work together. Nadella's interest is cloud, not a single app platform for developers to develop. Uptake of Office 365, Dynamics CRM, SQL and Windows Server. And since most businesses and consumers didn't bite into Windows 8 and 8.1, let's get them moved along to Windows 10. THAT is Nadella's ploy for killing Windows Mobile. Focus everyone on moving on to Windows 10. Later, he may allow the Windows Mobile platform to raise it's head, but that just isn't important to him, right now.
