Microsoft's CEO affirmed on Tuesday that all versions of
Windows will merge into one operating system for all
devices.
"We will streamline the next version of Windows from
three operating systems into one single converged
operating system for screens of all sizes," CEO Satya
Nadella said in prepared remarks during the company's
fourth-quarter earnings conference call. "We will unify
our stores, commerce and developer platforms to drive a
more coherent user experience and a broader developer
opportunity."
Nadella expanded on this theme when responding to an
analyst's question.
"One of the beauties of [the] universal Windows app is, it
aggregates for the first time for us all of our Windows
volume...which is 300 plus million units." Microsoft has talked about this before. Back in April, the
company discussed allowing developers to build
universal apps that will work across Windows Phone,
Windows, and Xbox devices.
But Nadella, on Tuesday, stated in no uncertain terms
that the merger of operating systems is going forward.
And he signaled that "major" changes are coming to
Windows.
"We look forward to sharing more about our next major
wave of Windows enhancements in the coming months,"
he said.
