I think the biggest new opening for
Microsoft to get back on the tech map is for it to cash on its
Nokia acquisition and a CEO who grew up in
India, a country that has more poor people than any other, and to offer the cheapest smartphones across the
Global South. That steep price gradient is the only hope Microsoft might have to become a significant third force in the mobile space where
Android is the new
Windows. If it were to move fast enough I think there is a slim chance that Microsoft might end up with
Apple like global
market shares.
The large number of Android manufacturers are tough competition though. Android is free. And those hardware makers are doing their best to offer
cheap phones. But I have a feeling Nokia knows a thing or two about cheap.
