Dear Satya Nadella, Microsoft loyalists need to talk to you about what's happening at your company.

Ambient computing has its benefits, but as the world becomes more connected we also become more vulnerable to attacks from hackers.

There are millions of people living with Parkinson's Disease. With Emma Watch and Project Emma, Microsoft is seeking to innovate symptom-relieving treatments.

In 2007, Apple put a tablet in people's pockets: the iPhone. And, yes, the iPhone is a tablet, albeit a mini one.

There are hundreds of millions of deaf or hard of hearing individuals in the world. Microsoft's inclusion mission embraces them in its workforce and technology.

The narrative around Microsoft's mobile strategy is an ever-shifting tale of despair and promise. Though Microsoft is culpable, it's not the only guilty party.

Smartphone prices are skyrocketing to accommodate technology costs. But the we way we use smartphones hasn't really changed. You have to wonder, is a phone like the iPhone X worth the asking price?

We're now in an age of ubiquitous tablet computers we call smartphones. Science fiction predicted this. What's next?

ALS is a demoralizing and immobilizing condition. Microsoft proves, however, that with empathy, teamwork, and technology, barriers can be overcome.

Microsoft recently communicated a vision to enable wearables that transition between AR and VR. Samsung and ODG may grab consumer mindshare with similar visions, however.

CEO Satya Nadella hinted that an enterprise-focused Surface mobile device may be in the works in a recent interview.

Would a consumer-focused Android phone help Microsoft build developer relationships to support its ecosystem and a potential enterprise-focused Core OS device?

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admitted abandoning consumers is a mistake he's repeatedly made, a mistake that may very well cost Microsoft in the future.

Every leader brings their unique personality to the position. And that personality has a profound impact on the direction of a company.

Before smartphones, Windows was the platform for virtually all personal computing.

Microsoft's lack of developer support affects its entire ecosystem. The company may not be able to completely fix the app gap, but it has several tools it can use to address it.

Microsoft's Andromeda OS is one Windows for all device types. This single OS strategy is a philosophically different approach to computing than Microsoft's successful rivals.

What will an exponential leap in computing mean for a company determined to be the world's computing platform?

Microsoft's commitment to loyal Windows phone fans has seemed ill-managed at best. Should Microsoft expect spurned fans to embrace its future mobile efforts?

Though Apple is often criticized for copying old tech, its improving of that tech makes all the difference.

I've been using Windows phones for 11 years. The Lumias 1020 and 1520 are currently my daily drivers. But my 1520 is dying and I have my eye's set on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Don't judge.

Many people want Microsoft's mobile efforts to succeed. Others have lost hope. But can the strategy be objectively acknowledged and observed without an optimistic or pessimistic perspective?

Without a smartphone, Microsoft's augmented reality (AR) efforts may be overshadowed by Apple's ARKit and Google's ARCore phone-based approaches.
