He also states that Microsoft\u2019s mixed reality division is not dysfunctional.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are two major disagreements within Microsoft\u2019s mixed reality division, according to\u00a0<em>Business Insider<\/em>. First, employees and higher-ups can\u2019t agree on Microsoft\u2019s role in a future metaverse\u2014some say the company should focus on hardware like HoloLens, while others believe that a software platform \u00a0for\u00a0<em>other<\/em> companies\u2019 headsets is a smarter move.<\/p>\n<p>Employees are also upset by an unconfirmed partnership between Microsoft and Samsung. If\u00a0<em>Business Insider\u2019s<\/em> sources are correct, Microsoft will abandon HoloLens 3 development and work with Samsung on a new headset. (This rumor makes a lot of sense if Microsoft pivots to a software-first strategy. That said, Microsoft denies that the HoloLens is dead.)<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"qgtH701s60E\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qgtH701s60E\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Microsoft employees who are frustrated with the company have reportedly left to join <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>. Of course, you may want to take this with a grain of salt, as poaching is incredibly common in the tech industry. Plus, the \u201cmetaverse\u201d is still an emerging market, so companies are desperate to recruit talent.<\/p>\n<p>For what it\u2019s worth, Microsoft\u2019s CEO seems a lot more interested in software than hardware. Satya Nadella is famous for his push for Azure cloud computing, a bet that\u2019s clearly paid off, given the success of both Xbox Cloud Gaming and Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n<p>Nadella <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/tech-exchange\">also claims<\/a> that the\u00a0metaverse is just an expansion of online communities that have long existed in video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s\u2014<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/745807\/what-is-the-metaverse-is-it-just-virtual-reality-or-something-more\/\">a correct assessment<\/a>.
