@@Yayatouu Steve earlier made products, and then believed that people would buy them no matter what. He later made products that he knew people would buy no matter what.
Too much hype for Steve - the man who almost sank Microsoft. You missed to capture how he nearly dealt a death blow to the company by spinning it off into separate units, especially Xbox. Satya stepped in and put a freeze to that... and built up Xbox into a highly profitable department.
Well they continue to grow... Its not like MS start loosing and fall behind.. They are doing great... Its just apple which is growing fatser.. Its as simple as that....
Unless you bought into his WP10 OS promise of being able to use iOS and Android apps on them and then stopping those programs altogether. He lied and killed the best phone OS that could have been the phone OS to get. He is a fool for supporting competitors more than their own products.He should have been fired just for that one lie.
Satya Nadella: technology+business due to this he know both how it works as well as sales. Now I understand why most people choose a MBA after their graduation :)
Almost lost everything? Like what? Microsoft still had Windows Enterprise, Windows server, MS SQL Server, MS office that are still raking in billions of dollars each quarter. Boy, you are just hating MS just for the sake of it!
@@ravik007ggn Seb K Yeah, but that's still a hella different than 'losing everything'. Besides, Microsoft could only gain through advertising, mainly through Bing which they were very late to the market.
@@nadeemshaikh7863 Big companies ( HP, IBM etc) don't lose everything, they just get replaced by bigger companies ( Amazon, Google and FB though the last is the most useless of the three).
@@ty814 Ballmer was so bad no one even knew about him man. He didn't know how tech works and he didn't create the Xbox stfu you have no fuckin clue what you're talking about
@@raghavkaushal7561 have you tried Windows 10? And Vista was disaster... And for your kind of information its engineers who programed it and Windows was already dominant... Windows phone OS was great because of those amazing software engineers while Balmer a buisnees guy tried to make a lot of money out of it... He was greedy that's why Windows failed... They had experience, partners in hardware segment, great engineers but a very bad CEO who tried nothing but making money
@@nothing9220 I loved windows phone I wish Satya didn't kill it. They should of doubled back and pushed it towards businesses with the advantage of regular consumers like myself able to use it. A blackberry replacement since I don't see them anymore.
When the whole azure department was with Satya Nadella before he was CEO . How many CEO will work in the day to day activity of a software product Azure . You still want to give credit to Steve Ballmer . This is the inner demon of your heart still not giving credit to an Asian guy . When Satya was goin to be a CEO he could have continued with what Steve Ballmer strategy of putting Windows in everything .
@@cheesemccheese5780 Thats the truth from the video. He(6:17) says Steve Ballmer did ground work for Satya, instead he never looked at cloud as the way forward for Microsoft when he was CEO.
@North American RU-vidr The stock went from 30$ a piece to 110$ in just 5 years, that is close to 4 times the value, and you say he ruined it? and BTW the value of a piece of stock in 2000 was 30$. you're plain DUMB.
Balmer might've thought about pivoting first to enterprise, but if Balmer was still in charge, it wouldn't have been this successful. Balmer was great at what he did. Sales. He is horrible at everything else. Didn't think Google could make their revenue stream work, which I admit was hard to predict. But he made fun of iPhone when it first came out when everyone could see that was the future. Not just that, he totally ignored how much software development actually takes. The guy is responsible for Vista. Even mobile OS, even when he was so late to the market, he wanted to charge companies to use Windows. Like wtf? And made the worst acquisition of all. Nokia. After the company had gone under, paid billions for that. You can hype up Steve all you want, but if he remained there, he would've screwed it up
He has definitely transformed the company. Delivering the same integrated package as apple once did. I’ve left Apple all together and converted to Microsoft. Now they just need a surface phone
Gotta admit one thing that Microsoft as a company understands clearly the art of consistency, despite certain slips at critical points in their journey, they were able to rebuild themselves fast and stay in the game. A testament of which was masterfully narrated in the book - Hit Refresh. Satya Nadella, got one thing exceptionally right - the focus on building a culture around empathy and embedding that into the products. Definitely an intriguing story.
Satya Nadella definitely revived goodwill/respect for Microsoft amongst developers & techies and even end-users. So certainly well done to Satya Nadella, he is also doing great work for open source communities which is a crucial step towards technological progress for the whole humanity.
I love the parallax effects in your videos. They're amazingly well executed for what is just a "simple" effect. You/your team take it to the next level and then further. Thank you for the videos.
I believe Satya Naddella was the guy who took most part in building Azure, He kept Balmer interested in this. And when he became the CEO, he did what Balmer should have done. All the praise he gets is his...
Yes, thank you. (And indeed, the Windows Pocket PC was introduced in 2000.) Microsoft's and Balmer's big mistakes were trying to force the Windows GUI onto the smart phone market and market primarily to the enterprise (and not consumer) market. Job's iPhone crushed in the consumer market and eventually forced businesses to support (BYOD movement). Actually I prefer the Windows Phone GUI better than Android/iOS; if only MS had started with that then history might have been very different.
He mean too late in the smartphone business... not phone business... Balmer was laughing at the iPhone at the time, saying that was basically useless without a physical keyboard....
@@alessiosanna3185 Windows Mobile, founded in 2005 was a smartphone OS. Smartphones are phones that can download apps. The first iPhone didn't have an app store so it was a dumbphone
I read his book HIT REFRESH and I'd recommend everyone to look into it. It explains how he had to bring Microsoft back into game with major focus on cloud.
Even the Microsoft hardwares(Surface products),which never were profitable to Microsoft is now a 2 Billion Dollar business for Microsoft....So,things are prety great for Microsoft now....
Don’t know why surface isn’t a big thing yet. But if Satya is replaced with someone like Steve jobs( in terms of presentation) and if he goes on to present new surface products bam Microsoft will be a 2 trillion dollar company in no time
5:08 after a decade or so outright refusing to touch MS products for their anti open source stance, this man brought me back to Microsoft. Microsoft inherited "don't be evil" from Google and made well use of it.
Dude is amazing, completely flipped MS for my company. Visual Code, VSTS, and Azure have been evolving in all the right ways(still using Jenkins though). Now PS and MS SQL just need a dose of direction and revitalization, respectfully.
You can just copy/paste this video in 5 years and change the Microsoft logo to Apple’s. Tim Cook is also just a short thinking sales guy that’s missing any sense of innovation and is pushing loyal clients away with the thousands. Their stock price also (rightfully) keeps falling and he was also chosen by the former CEO. The whole world (clients, investors, employees, stores, ...) is just waiting for him to get fired so Apple can recover.
that is right in recent years we have never seen any new innovation from iOS and Iphone they are still the same when Steve Jobs left no progress and no improvement...
Also, Apple didn't really make shitty computers when Steve Jobs was alive. I got a G3 MacBook and still works. Now their laptops are almost as bad as Microsoft's shitty Surface tablets.
Another aspect you forgot to mention is talent! The reputation of a company matter so much in recruitment, and good talent builds good ideas and good products. This is why Facebook will remain dominant even with all this backlash. People are saying Facebook failed to adequentely respond to changing social trends, or that they prioritize profits over political stability - but no one is saying its bad to work under them. In fact they are saying the opposite. 2018 may have been the worst year for Facebook's public image, but they were ranked the #1 Place to Work on Glassdoor. In 2014, Microsoft's image among those looking to work in the tech industry wasn't great. But now, as someone in the industry, I can sense that changing.
I got to say I have no passion for business as a whole in general but your videos always make me feel awe inspired and hyped to learn more and possibly become a business man myself. Thank you for these videos and keep up the good work!
I never comment on videos but you deserve it, loved the way you explained and specially specially specially the pictures and their animations you make, hats off seriously!!!! Keep up the great work
@Akmal Ahmad Reliance Industries! Tata Empire! Adani Empire! Birla Empire! Are giants in India and I know that you might have never heard about them because they are working within India to revolutionise India! Reliance has just launched Reliance Jio the cheapest 4G Internet service in the world.... This alone could boost indias economy by 4%! India is currently the fastest growing Economy in the world
Don't comment like this. Your bringing his success to his race or nationalty not to his hardwork. And I am indian but your comment ruined the taste of video.
I would argue that Microsoft has significantly deteriorated under Nadella. With Nadella came the following things: - The misuse of Win 7 and 8.x's Windows Update Service for the purpose of aggressively distributing the Windows 10 upgrade. - The reliability of Windows Update and the quality of the updates has decreased significantly. - Forced spying and forced updates since Windows 10. - Advertisements in the OS. - The gradual transformation of the relatively open platform PC into a walled garden with full fencing. Including third party control over what you can and cannot do in your own garden. Who benefits from the fact that the profit and the power of this company could be increased under Nadella, except MS and its shareholders? Us, the end users, in no way! Quite the opposite! We would benefit from a "weak" Microsoft, if a PC market would finally emerge that is not only dominated by one giant monopolist.
@North American RU-vidr it's the same with all other companies right? first Nokia dominated mobile phones, then Sony as I know them for consoles, appliances general electronics, games entered the Mobile Market and Digital Camera age, Samsung Improved their Mobile Phones as well... but what happened to Nokia? they were left behind with an old technology... Samsung used Windows Mobile, but it did not last they switched to Android which made Samsung Mobile Phones rising up in the market..
@North American RU-vidr He made the loss making company way above profitable. Now company has investors' trust and their patience for moving forward with new series of products and to compete with its rivals. See the surface devices coming up, see windows lite project. What he did is not copying in this data driven generation Microsoft was about to repeat how once Nokia was doing, Satya saved it by buying atleast some more time.
I guess in a way Ballmer saw the future, but the timing of his setups were off so it didn't succeed. So the business division was just waiting for the right time to apply when all the cloud tech from google starting kicking in.
*Nokia, windows 8. Yeah, he saved it. Only reason the board entrust him with the role is 'cause he was willing to receive way lower salaries than previous CEOs. And that's how he helped MS. Savings.*
The whole video's only intention is to give the credit of today's success to Steve Balmer which is going for Satya Nadella. Understood your intentions.
Yeah, y'all are real inclusive of those Dalits, aren't you? STFO. Indians could give the rest of the world master classes on applied racism. And then they come over to America, see the lay of the land, and get in on the AA grift. (while persuing industrial strength nepotism once they get into any sort of power in an organization.
As an indian it gives me great pride and sadness.satya could 've added so much to his own country.but still a global superpower , gave an underdog a chance and he proved his worth
@Dex4Sure dude india was much more developed when British arrived in india. Most of your maths and science discovered are just copied from our ancient texts which people took and never returned. If you think european where very smart then you are wrong.. even people say vasco da gama discovered india but for a fact it was an Indian business who met vasco da gama in South Africa and guided him the route to India you people were nothing your economies were crumpled. Ever read the books of your own true historians who had guts to speak truth. India had an university even centuries ago where students from different countries used to come to study. India had a share of more than 25% in world economy when British arrived and when they left it was refused to less than 3%. And you fools think that we were all illeterate people we had nothing .. Looters. Even Africa was better place don't worry karma will do it's part I hope brexit happens soon.
Steve is an underrated guy. He created Bing, a 6 billion dollar cash cow for MSFT, then Azure was also the result of his vision. Office 365 was also implemented by Steve which is THE cash machine of MSFT. He also started Surface, which while not as profitable, it is not a bad achievement either. These are the main things that drives MSFT's share valuation. People seem to remember him only for Windows Phone failure(which was actually discontinued by Satya), his iPhone comment and developer developer chants. Almost everyone forgets that almost all the product that drives the valuation of MSFT was created under Steve's time. But, I should of course give credit to Satya for his ability to change the philosophy of such a large company and of course for helping increase the share price(which I am greatly benefitting from).😀
What is with Steve bias here? "Satya is nothing! Steve did everything!!!" sort of a vibe... I don't think that whoever made this video considered that it was both Bill and Steve that chose Satya for next CEO.
If only Microsoft had not been "saved" by Nadella in the first place. Then Windows Phone would still be around today and the awful Win 10 would never have existed. - At least not as the unreliable, personal data destroying Frankenstein and data octopus OS it is known as today.
Sales cure everything - Mark Cuban. I use to believe this strongly. But constantly innovating new things , shaking hands well with governemnt (behind or in front of screens) , working hard, dispersed focus, timely manner, market luck, etc. plays a role.
Wrong on all accounts, stock buybacks are their major revenue stream like IBM has done. The windows phone was the best idea, and without the practice of stock buybacks it would be strictly a software company only. The phone business was the money and once the money printing stops you will see a company with not as much to offer.
That's not ironic, it just goes to show that it's really difficult to run one of the biggest companies in the world. Say whatever you want about his poor tenure, but he is way smarter than the average person, otherwise he would've never made CEO.
They didn't force people to update to Windows 10. And if you updated to Windows 10 and you didn't like it, they gave you the option to downgrade within a certain amount of time.
@@Alex632 you're right, it's time to move on. So you are forced to switch to windows 10 at the end. I don't blame Microsoft for making such a move, in fact they are a company and they do what they need to earn money, but I can't comprehend people who don't care about having an OS that spies on you and gives control of your PC to a company, basically acting like a Trojan
MS insisted and enforced Win10 updates so hard, like waking up PC/laptop in sleep mode in the middle of the night, updating them, then RESTARTING. 😮😲 So I was forced to switch OS.
Today the world is more aware about technology and business so it's very important to be innovation and focus on continuous improvement and stability in your product and services. Microsoft has been able to tap on this one and hence they're still surviving the competition very well.
