Ah yes, I see now. I definitely agree with you then. That line will most likely not sit well with employees that don't give a damn about the shareholders and would rather just create amazing products.

If they are really interested in creating amazing products evidently they're working for the wrong company.

I wouldn't say stupid things like this. I work in Windows Phone and I have a lot of faith in our product (and judging by reactions to the 1020 and our customer sat ratings, it looks like I'm not alone). The Xbox One is exciting, and Windows 8+ has definitely opened a new chapter for the company.

If you have something stupid to say, keep it to yourself.

Too bad you don't take your own advice. You would have saved yourself the embarrassment.

I'm not sure I understand your point - can you please elaborate?

Together Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox are the "biggest walled garden on earth".

When you add "Windows" there it completely dillutes the argument because Windows on the desktop is far from a walled garden as a proprietary platform can be.
