Satya NADELLA, CEO and chairman of the company, later gave an exclusive interview with the media, saying that he wanted to make the windows ecosystem more open and create more opportunities for all creators on the platform p> < p > recently, the behavior of Apple's App Store charging high commissions and the company's strict control of developers on its platform has caused a lot of controversy. Many developers have sued apple, and the US Congress has also issued special anti-monopoly legislation. Microsoft and NADELLA repositioned windows, saying that the windows ecosystem will be more open, with the goal of allowing others to build larger businesses and platforms without Microsoft's obstruction p> < p > in the upgrade of windows 11, a major change is that Microsoft has changed the application distribution rules, and its windows app store will become more open, allowing developers to submit more kinds of applications. It also allows developers to use their own payment systems without having to pay Microsoft a commission p> < p > for apple and Microsoft, it feels like their roles have suddenly reversed. Twenty years ago, Microsoft was under tremendous pressure from regulators, and Mac was a more open platform. How does NADELLA feel about this, and how does he see Microsoft's responsibilities when windows is a platform? How to look at the impact of various antitrust legislation in the US Congress on Microsoft's future plans? Why did Microsoft decide to allow Android applications to run directly on windows p> The following is the full text of NADELLA's interview: < / P > < p > Q: Microsoft has just released windows 11. There are many topics to talk about, but I want to start this conversation with some personal news. You've only recently become chairman and CEO of Microsoft. What does it mean to hold these two positions p> NADELLA: in fact, as you know, at least in the United States, when it comes to corporate governance, the chief independent director has the greatest management power over everyone in the company, including my appointment and removal, salary setting and performance evaluation. Basically, they can decide whether to hire me or fire me. Independent directors are responsible for corporate governance. If there is any change when I am concurrently chairman of the board of directors, I think fundamentally, we should find out how to make the management team and the board of directors cooperate sincerely around Microsoft's goals and strategies? As a team, how can we be responsible for ourselves p> < p > so, as some people have described to me, maybe I should attend more meetings, or more board meetings. But I don't think it's much different from what I've done in the past seven years. Frankly, there is no real change in the seriousness of corporate governance and who really has the right to hire and fire the CEO. This is the power of independent directors on the Microsoft board p> < p > Q: you directly lead to my next question, who is your boss? Who are you most responsible for p> NADELLA: think about it, the board and the chief independent director. If you define a boss as the person who ultimately makes you responsible, then that person is an independent director on Microsoft's board of directors p> Q: I have asked many executives this question: what is your decision-making framework? After all, Microsoft is a huge enterprise with a variety of businesses worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars. How do you make a decision p> NADELLA: I'll try to explain it briefly. I have my own decision-making framework, which I have followed since I became CEO. It begins with the mission of the company and ends with the corporate culture. Between these are our world outlook and strategic considerations. I think what remains unchanged is the sense of purpose, mission and corporate culture, while what changes is the world outlook and strategy p> < p > everything we do must be consistent with the first question, which is, is it meaningful to do so considering our identity as a company? More importantly, if we do, will it bring unique value to the world? Is it something that makes us stand out from the competition, or something that works for people? For me, this is the most helpful way to manage the current business of the company p> < p > as for "what CEOs need to do", they must choose the business the company needs to engage in, and then they must set standards for the cultural values inherent in the life experience. These are the two things I've always wanted to balance p> Q: let's talk about a major decision. A few years ago, you said, "we can rename windows as azure edge, which is an extension of azure's huge business. We are in a mobile first, cloud first world. " In 2019, I remember you said to wired magazine, "the operating system is no longer our most important business." Novel coronavirus pneumonia, but you just released Windows 11. I heard your discussion with Microsoft's chief product officer, Panos Panay, including how the new crown pneumonia epidemic will refocus your attention on Windows and what it may become like Panos. Tell me about this process, because it really feels like a huge transformation p> NADELLA: all of what I said before is true, because Windows doesn't exist in isolation. Windows lives in a world with lots of cloud computing services. There are many cloud providers and a large number of cloud computing services, so any client operating system will eventually connect with cloud computing. In this sense, from the perspective of technology, business model, usage and experience, it is cloud computing and edge computing p> < p > there is no doubt that from the perspective of distributed computing architecture, more than 1 billion users of windows are also edge computing users of azure. You can even say that Windows users will regard azure as the cloud computing service of windows. So I think that's absolutely right p> < p > another point is that windows has formed its own ecosystem with more than 1 billion users. The same is true for Android and IOS. In fact, Android may have 2 billion users, and the user scale of IOS is similar to that of windows. But the reality is that for any windows user, we have to assume that they have a mobile phone, which may run Android and IOS systems. We have to consider this p> < p > I do think operating systems are important, but they are important because they are related to all the other things in my life ?
