Satya Nadella has promised that Microsoft won’t sell off Bing or the Xbox

Speaking at Re/code’s conference in California, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella assured gamers that the company doesn’t plan to sell its Xbox division, despite what many people advise Microsoft to do. Furthermore, he said that the company doesn’t plan to sell its Bing search business either. “I have no intent to do anything different with Xbox than we are doing today,” Nadella said at the Code Conference. Microsoft has recently acknowledged that its Xbox One with built-in Kinect sensor bundle wasn’t what many potential buyers may have wanted, and announced that a cheaper Kinect-less Xbox One version will start selling in stores soon.

Forget what you’ve read: Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella said the company has no intentions of selling search to Yahoo. In remarks during the inaugural Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Nadella said that in today’s “post-post PC world” — whatever that means — in which the average person is awash with data, the company will focus its efforts in finding ways to anticipate your questions and needs. Nadella said the company has achieved breakthroughs in understanding questions posed in a more natural, human way, and offering responses. That technological milestone was achieved because of its work on its search engine, Bing. Though it has just 18 percent share of the search market — 30 percent if you count the search it powers on behalf of Yahoo – Nadella described that as a success. “I say it’s very important technology,” Nadella said. “We are very happy to partner with Yahoo, and not selling it.”
