Steven Sinofsky said if it is too
early to determine the winners and losers in PC industry since it evolves with
new form factors. The former boss of Windows sees if Windows 8 is just doing
fine, despite analyst reports that PC sales have declined, in part; it is
because of tepid consumer interest to the 7-month-old operating system. Sinofsky
revealed “It’s hard for me to look at selling 100 million of something and not
be happy” at the D11 conference held on Thursday.
It can be said if the Windows 8 sale,
since it has been launched, has reached the number of 100 million licenses.
When asked why those Windows sales still have not regained PC sales overall, it
is suspected to be Sinofsky suggested patience. The leader said if it would
take a long time to make things play out and when it is going, you have to
resist the urge to pick winners and losers.
At the earlier today, Microsoft started
to shift course a bit with the OS. It came up with a series of new functions
and features for Windows 8 which will be coming up in an update later this
year, and of course some shortcomings of the operating system will be
announced.
If we go back to talk about the
Windows 8.1, we will probably know if the biggest reset of Windows 8.1 will be
called as “Start tip” which refers to something of a half-step toward taking
back the Start button that has been wanted by many critics. While clicking on the
Start tip, it won’t take you to the familiar Start menu found in the previous
version of Windows; instead, it will take users to the PC’S start screen to be
customized if you want.
When being interviewed, Sinofsky
did not talk about the Windows update so much. He talked more about software
development and some of the challenges of innovating in a large organization
nowadays.
"It's
really just a classic Microsoft challenge -- you have all these people, and you
want to align them," Sinofsky said, according to a live blog of the event by The Verge.
"It's a management challenge, there's no shortage of ideas. You have to
get them all on the same path.” He also did not declare about his departure
from Microsoft corp., just a few weeks after the Windows 8 launched.
At d11
conference, Steven Sinofsky stated if his exit from Microsoft corp. was truly
his choice. He is now teaching at Harvard Business School and sure about what
he is doing and what he will do next. He also added if he compare his life
while in sabbatical and his life now, he realized if he learned by writing and
teaching.
