Steve Ballmer confirms Microsoft's intentions to produce more hardware
Share:
Here's what Microsoft's chief said:
There you have it - yet another confirmation that Microsoft is looking to build more hardware. The company that brought you Windows has just recently launched its Windows RT-based Surface tablet, with a more powerful, Windows 8 Pro-running version expected soon. It's still too early to say if these devices are a market success for Microsoft, but at least they might serve as a reference for their hardware partners, which Microsoft hopes to inspire to build better Windows products in the future.
So the question is - what kind of device should we expect from Microsoft next? This is still beyond anyone's knowledge (anyone that's not in Microsoft, that is), although there have been some recent rumors of a Surface phone being in the works. But while we can think of a lot of reasons why that would be the next logical step in Microsoft's portfolio, we can't deny the fact that we lack any substantial evidence of such a device right now.

" Understandably worried about the reactions of their partners, the CEO has said that although Microsoft is definitely going into hardware, it believes that it is its partners will be controlling the major part of the Windows ecosystem. "
does this mean that Microsoft will collaborate with Nokia, HTC, and Samsung to make new hardwares (Surface Phone for example)? Like Google for their Nexus line
English is my second language :)

Lol, only so many crazy ideas can Ballmer come up with and push forward all the while not making any returns before the shareholders get upset and start wanting results in their favor and then all this will change.

like I said before Most big businesses that have stores online or otherwise have their own brand name products to sell to the Public. generally they sell them at a cheaper price than competitors do. Microsoft is doing it right because once a person buys software they keep using on their computers for years at a time. So it is wise for Microsoft to have a little side thing going. Yoo Microsoft we need a Microsoft store here in Philadelphia PA preferably some where in Center city or University City a division of Philadelphia where the University of Pennsylvania Campus is..

Microsoft does make some hardware already, like keyboards and mice. It was only a matter of time because they wanted to expand.
