Yeah, lets abandon our user base, promise the moon and deliver dirt and then hope they come running back to us. Now I sit here here in disbelief. Nadella is synonymous with the cloud for a reason. We need to think about unintended consequences of our technology, for example. That issue has to be reconciled. The high brass at MSFT has to be replaced. I "personally" spent over $3,000 on Windows Phones and now it's all down the drain!!!
