In todays world people uses mobile phones for internet and various utilities. PC sales are declining. At the same time Windows Phone is a fail. In summery Microsoft has been failed to retain the consumer market. Windows 10 and the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is a good attempt but without mobile market those are not much use.
If you see the keynotes of this year Microsoft Build, you can understand that now they not paying much attention to consumer market anymore instead they are considering business users.
Windows brand helps them to get revenue for over 25 years. Now with declining PC sales Windows is also losing popularity. So, Microsoft must figure out the next thing after Windows and I think that will be Azure and AI.
There are some important announcements of Build this year.
Please look at the below YouTube videos for details of these items stated above.

‘Windows XP’ and ‘Windows 7’ is stable operating system. But ‘Windows 8’ is not popular in community. In case of mobile market, ‘Android’ and ‘iOS’ is popular and ‘Windows Phone’ has very little market share. Microsoft currently struggling to get better market share. They are changing their work approach. They are doing open source on GitHub. They allow Linux in Windows Azure. They are giving free update to Windows 10 for ‘Windows 7’ and ‘Windows 8.1’ users. They are proving software in pure Agile based approach.
Do you think these approaches help Microsoft to get better market share in future?
