Kraft Alver from Ballmer. Butcher Microsoft’s strategy: – This is bullshit – digi.no

Steve Ballmer owns about 4 percent or 333 million shares of Microsoft and thus the company’s largest single shareholder. Although he no longer work for the company, the former chief executive clear opinions on how the ownership should be managed.

During the company’s annual shareholder meeting yesterday, he criticized Microsoft and successor his front office, Satya Nadella on several occasions. It reports Bloomberg.

Ballmer dislikes that Microsoft hides the actual revenue from the cloud and hardware in the accounts, because they report “run rate” ie an annual projection with expected sales in the future, rather than actual turnover in each quarter.

– This is bullshit. This is the key. If they talk about these business areas as crucial for the company, then they must also report figures, trumpeted billionaire.

Microsoft reports some figures in these areas, but the restructuring of the way financial statements are presented, is there has been a paucity of detail. Otherwise, it is clear that the company is doing very sharp Currently cloud promises the company to record levels.

Calls for Android support

The pursuit of greater transparency regarding the economy is one thing. The former Microsoft chief executive also criticized the company’s strategy around software to Windows 10.

Specifically, so-called universal apps that will work across all screen surfaces, whether PCs, game console Xbox, mobile phones or tablet with Microsoft’s operating system. It is mobile, he believes this is a mistake.

– It’s not going to work. Instead, Microsoft ensure that Windows mobiles can run Android apps, said Ballmer, according to news agency.

Also see the lessons of Norwegian Compello, who thinks it is only benefits by developing universal Windows Apps .

Back in ours notified Microsoft just that they were about to develop solutions to expand the app selection for their mobile platform, which although it has improved still lags far behind Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS.

It should be possible to run Android app on Windows mobiles, but this support has so far been lacking. The project that would ensure this seems completely dead, and Microsoft has done little to resolve the uncertainty which has arisen.
