Because I don't see that as distinctive of him. Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Twitter have been no better.
In Nadella's defense he has an actual dog to f**k, here. Piracy is a major threat to Microsoft in a way it isn't to any of those other corporations. Has it been any different in games, Jeff? You know it hasn't. Hell, Giant Bomb gave out a GOTY shame award a few years ago: "Stop shipping incomplete games". That is the industry's modus operandi, now. Everything is released incomplete, and patched in real-time.
I'm also confused because I just criticized the Windows 7 subscription which is why I jokingly said, "Let's not speak of that." What's the alternative, btw? Linux? The company that just SJW'd their namesake founder?
I'm defending his business record. Microsoft has done a lot better since his strategy shift.
My excuse? Do you think I owe Microsoft some personal defense? It's a valid point. None of those other companies is threatened by piracy.Piracy is your excuse? Bullshit. You might pirate some software so we're just going to record everything you do. That's a fucking piss pour excuse and you know it.
Piracy in games is a non factor. It's almost always, 99.9% of the time, a company putting out a shitty product and instead of fessing up to it they blame their poor sales on piracy.
Nadella has definitely made his shareholders rich, but has fucked over the consumer in the process.
what about this one?he shouldve donated his entire wealth to cancer research
lolwhat about this one?
That one on the left is a winnerRICH BUT LONELY: £17bn Microsoft genius dies at 65 without having realised his dream of having a wife and children
Co-founder of Microsoft Paul Allen led a life of luxury, owned a yacht costing $205m and was third richest in the world, but what he always hoped for was a wife and children.
Friends since Allen was aged 14 and Gates just 12 the pair developed the Windows program which operates almost 90 per cent of computer systems in the world.
As “heartbroken” Gates put it last last night that the “personal computing would not have existed without” Allen and Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s current chief executive, added “he changed the world.’’
The pair’s relationship soured when his diagnosis with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1983 meant he was too sick to devote as much time to the business as Gates.
[And nope he was not an incel
Allen once dated tennis star Monica Seles and was most recently seen out with movie executive Leigh Collier.
Yet he was accused of abusing his position of power with five female employees.
One of them, Abbie Phillips, took him to court for sexual assault before a private settlement saw the case dropped.
Her lawyer said in 1998 that Allen had a history of “developing crushes, lavishing gifts and vacations on, and then firing, married female employees’]
Having recovered from his illness Allen refused to sell his shares to Gates, but left the company in 2000 to invest in various businesses - and LOTS of toys.
Indeed, when it came to spending tech billions no one was in the same league as him.
He was the boy in the sweet shop who had the means to buy the sweet shop and the sweet manufacturer.
Worth £17billion he purchased the guitar Jimi Hendrix used at Woodstock, a fleet of World War II aircraft, a first folio by William Shakespeare, Captain Kirk’s chair from the original Star Trek TV show and an antenna to search for alien life.
But it couldn’t buy him the love and children he so desired.
When he released his memoirs seven years ago Allen said in a rare interview “I’m still optimistic. I still believe I’m going to meet somebody. I want to have a family.”
He died having never married and without an heir.
Shame this guy does not get to reproduce yet guys like Kevin Federline has 5+ kids.
He's done about as well as anyone could ask once he realized the Windows Phone was going nowhere. That was a cash suck for a good while. Then they realized the Surface hybrids were their way forward in the touchscreen OS space. It's been much smoother sailing since then.
We'll ignore the Windows 7 subscription fiasco. Just don't talk about it.
