Ballmer 1 years retired mobile end Wintel Alliance or a reunion

Every journalist Zhangs from Beijing last weekend, chief executive Ballmer announced that he would retire within the next year. It was only one months before Mr. Ballmer announced the Microsoft restructuring plan. Microsoft's share price rose 7.29% per cent to 34.75 dollars in the news. According to Microsoft, Ballmer will retire formally after selecting the successor and completing the succession process. In the PC era, Intel, a member of the Wintel alliance that had worked with Microsoft to create countless brilliant results, was also announced as a former CEO, Otellini, in the form of proactive retirement. Now Ballmer's departure is an unspoken "tacit understanding." Industry analysts believe that Ballmer chose to retire at this time, hoping that the future of Microsoft's successor and Intel's new CEO could put two companies back together, restructure the Wintel alliance in the mobile internet industry, and bring back the glories of the past on the mobile side. The Vista period was most disappointing to Ballmer. Microsoft Board news shows that Microsoft has set up a special committee including founder Bill Gates, Ballmer, independent director Thompson, Audit Committee chairman Chack Noski and remuneration committee chairman Steve Luczo, The Committee will work with headhunting firm Heidesche to find successors outside and within Microsoft. "I actually have a chance to make a lot of mistakes, probably because people are always interested in a period, B, but I'm most sorry for the time from Longhorn (the predecessor of the Microsoft Vista OS) to Vista," Ballmer said without a disguise. This is probably the most regrettable thing for me. When you organize a large team to do something that ultimately proves to be of little value, there are side effects. "For Ballmer's departure, the U.S. media generally cast a" support vote. A New Yorker commentary reads, "It turns out that Ballmer's main job was to work against jobs." He missed every major trend in technology, and his innovation alienated the user's relationship with Microsoft. "So for investors, they are more concerned about who is going to replace Ballmer?" Maryjofoley, executive vice president of Microsoft's Tami Riller, Executive vice President Tony Betz and Executive Vice President Seia Nadra are top candidates for the next CEO, says ZDNet, a long-time observer of Microsoft. In addition, Microsoft China PR director Li Chengxue said in an interview, the substitution will not lead to changes in Microsoft's strategy, the company will continue to adhere to the equipment and services company transformation. Microsoft China will not be adjusted for Ballmer's departure. The Wintel alliance collapsed in the mobile era. In the view of senior IT analyst Sun Yongjie, the pressure of performance on Mr. Ballmer is just a symptom of retirement. In an interview with the Daily Economic news reporter, Sun Yongjie said, "in the past two years, Microsoft and Intel in the Wintel Alliance have been having problems in the mobile era, and there may be two CEOs on the transition issueDifferent views. To be exact, Mr Otellini and Mr. Ballmer have had disagreements and contradictions, even hostility, in their development strategies. He points out that in the PC era, Ballmer and Otellini were the best partners. Intel saw the potential of the smartphone market early and tried to develop the Meego system into the market by uniting Nokia, the boss of the smartphone market. At that time, Microsoft in the smartphone market has begun to show weakness, at this time the development of Meego system is undoubtedly a new threat to themselves. In Microsoft's eyes, perhaps Intel should have struggled to support Microsoft's Windows platform, even if not, and should not have developed open source Meego systems. The subsequent events have exacerbated the collapse rate of the Wintel alliance. Nokia abandoned Meego into the arms of Microsoft, announcing the Android camp that Intel joined, and carrying some of Meego's results with Samsung to develop Open-source systems Tizen. This "take refuge" of Microsoft's biggest rival behavior, quite a challenge Microsoft's momentum. Microsoft, which has always been strong, has given Intel a "comeback". In the face of Intel, which is eager to stand on the tablet market, Microsoft is releasing its most important Windows8 system node, and has not supported its former partners, but has pioneered the launch of its own branded Surfacert tablet, which supports ARM architecture. ARM is Intel's largest competitor to smartphones and Tablet PCs. The result of doing so did not make the two sides take advantage of each other, not only did not enhance their competitiveness, but caused a great weakening of competitiveness. From the results of recent quarters, both Microsoft and Intel are not optimistic, and the share of both in the smartphone and tablet markets is slim, and Intel's market share in both markets can be negligible. "I think Microsoft and Intel are a lose-all, the tacit understanding has not extended to the mobile end, two CEO contradictions difficult to reconcile." So Mr Otellini's early retirement, fundamentally speaking of Mr. Ballmer's departure, may be a chance for Microsoft's new CEO and Intel's new CEO to find a new opportunity to change the management mindset, and to make a difference between the two sides, and to find a fresh fit for Wintel's cooperation on the mobile side.
