Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella demoted Windows to a handful of terse mentions deep in his 3,100 all-hands strategy email of last week.



From Computerworld:
Windows will deliver the most rich and consistent user experience for digital work and life scenarios on screens of all sizes -- from phones, tablets and laptops to TVs and giant 82-in PPI boards," Nadella said in one of the first uses of "Windows" in his massive message.

That sentence appeared well past the half-way mark in the email: 60% of the message preceded it.

Some observers were struck by the contrast between Nadella's placement of Windows and the importance earlier regimes assigned to the client operating system, which in the September 2013 quarter accounted for 25% of the company's total revenue.
