A Microsoft Wakeup Call... - Microsoft Community

i going post in reply post decided post discussion. hope microsoft watching, love product, sadly there problem in it's public image in new technology world can difference in making or breaking long time giant...

in nutshell here problem, microsoft must try reach average consumer through existing loyal customers can't appeal 1 , ignore others never make progress.

microsoft not competing; have not put fight long time now, long time. have had desktop market sewn such long time have forgotten how compete. apple , android has had claw way onto scene beginning , along way have learned how play dirty hardball , has been painting negative picture of oblivious giant monster has never had care consumer has thought of them. sad has caught microsoft, if wake right might able save themselves, if continue going business usual pay ultimate price.

here's mean, microsoft windows 10 great solid platform, hands down windows has been great around ( except millennium edition, won’t go there. :p ) on time consumer base "herd animal" has been swayed opinions shouted roof tops. microsoft has ignored kind of rhetoric , never stoop low participate in such tactics, on time competition has been heard microsoft not defending itself. @ first no big deal, after years , years of competition mudslinging, microsoft may find without chair when music stops playing. new market of technology app driven , developers , customers new tech base have been majorly influenced years of competitive campaigning done apple , android, not mention fan boys , trolls have been poisoning average consumer years. microsoft's refusal participate in marketing campaigns may have led demise, doesn't matter how operating system if nobody write apps , consumers won’t buy it.

every time microsoft starts make headway in new field (like mobile phones), fail market , let competition badmouth without defense strategy quit instead of adjusting tactics overcome obstacles. windows 10 mobile got bad microsoft employees badmouthing own products (a solid platform), had salesperson in physical microsoft store in southern california try talk me out of buying windows phone. if cruise web find negative comments moderators , other microsoft representatives show no positive vibes microsoft. famous quote president lincoln said "...a house divided against cannot stand..." , true. of know microsoft windows solid productive platform getting in years, new generation has information has been given them, microsoft has not demonstrated or educated them company nor benefits of sticking them. sadly may late.

microsoft wake up!!! adapt , overcome! it’s not going easy or cheap @ point, @ fan-base still have , build there, don't abandon loyal customers still have , quit cutting corners, educate customers , don't hold technology. need compete or may find past point of no return. have bury competition in ways cannot compete, stop nerfing stuff , don't let companies use stuff nerf things or overly bloatware either, don’t abandon windows mobile, adapt... make x86 accept call , text, literally integrate departments, , don’t stay divided can conquered. windows 10 , windows 10 mobile should not different, should use same exact apps, think it, if can run on phone can run on desktop solved half problem of not having apps , programs available. or offer incentives developers limited time receive rewards developing windows apps, @ least ball rolling, make profitable people program man!!! profitable, loss leader...

i have been watching unfold long time, pattern apparent, don't want see microsoft fail in mobile market, if quit windows 10 mobile that, if microsoft has secret project, don't keep secret, losing customers based on rumors , may never them back.
