他告诉华尔街分析师:
“正如我告诉我的员工一样,我们行业不尊重传统。它只尊重创新。
过去2个半月是微软发生重大变化的时期。
在未来几个月,我们将继续专注于两件事:坚定的执行,带领公司走向未来。....
你所期待的都来自于微软有勇气面对现实。我们将以挑战的心态迎接未来。我们将大胆创新。我们将对我们的客户、合作伙伴和股东负责。”
微软今日发布第三季度财报,它公布营收为204.03亿美元,与去年同期的204.89亿美元相比基本持平;净利润为56.60亿美元,每股收益68美分,超出预期的63美分,但是同比下降6%。
世界正在转向移动设备,这大部分来自苹果和谷歌安卓。关于Windows 8和Windows Phone 8的问题,微软还没有很好的答案。
例如,该公司表示,消费者移动设备的Windows许可证收入较上年同期下降了15%。
微软Surface平板电脑的销量也很缓慢。微软表示Surface收入5亿美元,比去年同期的上涨了约50%。但是与2013年第四季度公布的Surface收入8.93亿美元相比,大幅下滑。
幸运的是,企业仍然喜欢Windows 7,自XP系统停止更新后就疯狂购买。Windows收入上升了19%。
所以,纳德拉许诺分析师,“我们正在探问未来……归根结底,我要对此负责。”

外媒原文如下:
Satya Nadella isn't trying to sell people on an overly rosy future for Microsoft.
On Thursday, he talked with Wall Street analysts on the quarterly conference call, which is something that Steve Ballmer didn't do.
Right off the bat, he told them:
As I told our employees, our industry does not respect tradition. It only respects innovation.
... the past two and half months have been a period of significant change at Microsoft
... in the months ahead we will continue to be focused on two things: rock-solid execution and pivoting the company towards the future. ...
What you can expect from Microsoft is courage in the face of reality. We will approach our future with a challenger mindset. We will be bolder in our innovation. We will be accountable to our customers, partners and shareholders.
It's an interesting line Nadella has to walk between confidence and humility.
On Thursday, Microsoft delivered an as-expected quarter. It reported $20.5 billion in GAAP revenue, flat year-over-year, and GAAP EPS of 68 cents, which was a beat on expectations of 63 cents but down 6% year-over-year.
The world is shifting to mobile devices, mostly from Apple and Google Android, and Microsoft's answers, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, haven't been well received.
For instance, the company said that revenue for Windows licenses on consumers devices was down 15% from the year-ago quarter.
Sales of Microsoft's own tablet, Surface, slowed, too. Microsoft said Surface revenue was $500 million up about 50% from the year-ago quarter, but a big drop from the $893 million in Surface revenue the company reported for Q4 2013.
Fortunately, businesses still love Windows 7 and are buying it like mad now that they have been forced to finally abandon old Windows XP machines. Windows revenue to companies was up 19%.
So, Nadella promised analysts, "We are asking the hard questions. ... At the end of day, I want to be accountable."
