Satya Nadella’s annual letter sets a clear theme for Microsoft’s next decade. The company is leaning fully into the AI platform shift, reshaping every layer of its stack while pushing record financial performance.
Bold ideas:
-
Decades and quarters. Microsoft is playing the long game while executing in tight quarterly cycles, keeping clarity high and momentum sharp.
-
Security and quality first. Thirty four thousand engineers are now focused on security, and a new quality framework aims to lift global reliability.
-
AI at every layer. New datacenters, sovereign cloud, quantum breakthroughs, and Copilots for work and home show how fast AI is becoming infrastructure.
-
Productivity everywhere. From healthcare to banking to retail, Microsoft highlights real frontline gains like 100,000 clinician hours saved and 45 percent fewer support calls at Carvana.
-
Responsibility at scale. Massive investment in skills, accessibility, safety, and sustainability underpins their licence to operate in every region.
∴
Satya’s challenge is simple. What are you building today that will still matter fifteen years from now?
