Microsoft's IOT strategy according to CEO Satya Nadella


Nadella echoed the argument mentioned earlier this month by Jasper's CEO that the internet of things is not just about the things themselves but rather it is more about the systems that make those things function. From this point of view, Microsoft has a big stake in how IOT develops. My initial thought on this news is in order for MS to have a say in IOT it has to put Windows head to head against other operating systems (iOS, Android) and other security and login systems (G+, facebook, Oracle, Cisco, etc)

It is not just about tablets, phones and PCs, but is also a platform that can "in fact run across a lot of places where general purpose compute is going to be important."

The attributes of Windows, its management and security, "are going to be more of a premium going forward," Nadella said
