  • I rate Microsoft as a Hold for long-term dividend/value investors. Microsoft is still trying to grow its Windows 10 Mobile strategy.
  • Buying and giving away Xamarin for free is one way for the company to persuade developers to create apps/games for the Universal Windows Platform.
  • Xamarin requires app developers to be well-versed in Microsoft’s C# programming language to create Windows, Android, and iOS apps.
  • Microsoft should also buy the drag-and-drop game maker Buildbox. BuildBox is very expensive right now but it is the most efficient way to create mobile games.
  • Letting people without programming skills create mobile games through BuildBox will inspire more people to make apps for Windows 10 Mobile devices.
  • I Know First is currently bullish on MSFT stock for the long term.
