Howeve it seems  the sleeping giant has awoken, first with Office on the iPad, then with new versions of Windows, then with Cortana, Surface 3, and on and on, five months of announcement after announcement.


One of the recent ‘ initiatives launched   by Nadella  is with Microsoft’s new real-time translator for Skype conversations.. With Skype  user base of more  than 300 million users clocking in around one trillion conversation minutes every month is  huge “

Microsoft finally announced its much anticipated CEO. A Microsoft Insider Satya Nadella  who has spent his last 22 years with the company “was heralded as the news CEO. This comes  in somewhat difficult times for the IT Giant as  the windows revolution that catapulted ” personal computing power to masses is on the verge of extinction with Smartphones, Tablets, Mobile Web and Connected Devices taking over the ” computing space” and Apple and Google breathing down on Microsoft’s neck

Indian born American Satya Nadella, 46, replaces Steve Ballmer effective immediately after a five-month search, Microsoft said in a statement on Tuesday. Bill Gates, the company’s first CEO, will step aside as chairman and devote more time to product development while remaining on the board and running his philanthropic foundation. John Thompson, the director who led the CEO search, becomes chairman. 

While Nadella brings an enormous expertise on the  cloud and enterprise  platform he will need to boost Microsoft’s presence in consumer markets, where rivals have seized the lead. The first question on the minds of critics is whether the Microsoft veteran of 22 years can deliver the same fresh thinking as an outsider

In the “Meantime “Motorola has lost nearly $2 billion since Google took over, while trimming its workforce from 20,000 to 3,800. Google had previously sold company’s set-top operations last year to Arris Group Inc. for $2.35 billion. Google is also keeping most of the patents that came with the Motorola purchase.

The Server and Tools division generated more revenue than the Windows division in the last fiscal year.

Developers are focusing more on iOS and Android, and moving away from platforms like Blackberry.

Facebook is a developer’s best friend. The social network is by far the most popular promotional tool used by developers.

More developers are planning to start making apps for Windows than any other platform, though that doesn’t necessarily mean they will.

Android is the platform of choice throughout the developing world.

When Windows 95 launched in 1995 it negated most of the advantages of the ease of use of the Macintosh and the PC market took off. The ratio reached 56 in 2004 when 182.5 million PCs were sold vs. 3.25 million Macs. During the second half of the 90s it was already clear that Windows won the PC platform war. Windows had an  advantage that seemed unsurmountable.

Statistics show that Microsoft Windows has approximately 91% of the market share, while the Apple Mac OS has around 5% of the market share. The other 4% is owned by other operating systems such as Linux.

Intel & Microsoft hope to push iPad’s global market share under 50% in 2013:

According to DigiTimes Intel and Microsoft have been working closely with partners to develop new tablets based on the forthcoming Windows 8 operating system, which will launch this fall. The sources indicated that Microsoft will release Windows 8 for traditional PCs to device makers in September, while Windows RT, the newly announced name for the ARM-based version, will be issued some time after.

A total of 32 Windows 8 tablets are expected to be available this year. Participating manufacturers Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asustek, and Toshiba are expected to launch models by the end of 2012.

Windows 8 tablets from Lenovo and Acer are expected to be priced as low as $300, to take on low-end Android tablets, while more expensive and powerful models will target Apple’s iPad. Those tablets will reportedly cost as much as $1,000; Apple’s most expensive iPad model with a 64-gigabyte capacity and wireless cellular connectivity is $829.

Intel has been looking to make up for lost ground in the mobile space ever since Apple decided that Intel’s Atom processors weren’t efficient enough to run the iPad. Instead, Apple developed its own new ARM chip design, which it dubbed A4, that debuted in the first-generation iPad.

The chart above shows the share of platforms driving traffic to websites in the U.S. It’s not a perfect measure of which platform is the most used, but it’s a good short hand representation since most users surf the web with each operating system. While Windows remains dominant, it’s becoming less important. Over the last six months, it lost a few percentage points to iOS, as you can see.
