The reshuffles in Microsoft 's senior positions continue, and these days a new announcement was released, which concerns not only the departure of Stephen Elop, but also the creation of a new team, which will deal with both Windows and the company's hardware .
Windows boss Terry Myerson will lead a new division called the Windows and Devices Group (WDG), which CEO Satya Nadella said will help deliver on the company's vision for a better personal computing experience powered by Windows.
Most importantly, with this new team, Microsoft will be able to fulfill its hardware goals, as they believe, after years of research and investment in the sector. This change in strategy is being made not because it wants to become a major player in the hardware market or simply a strong rival to other companies, but because this way it will better promote Windows. The company's hardware flagships such as Surface, HoloLens, and Lumia smartphones will show the public the true capabilities of Windows.
In recent months, Microsoft has focused more on software development than anything else, and in addition to Windows 10, which is still in development, it has also released several new applications on non-Windows platforms, in an effort to get users of other products to discover the capabilities of its own services.
The ultimate goal is to attract as large a portion of the purchasing public as possible to both use the company's software and use the devices.
