­(original title: Satya Nadella gave a nod to a rumor about a new Microsoft bundle)

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft is developing a consumer version of the Microsoft suite for individual consumers after launching the enterprise version of the suite for staff. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (Satya Nadella) hinted at the news during a meeting with reporters at the company's headquarters on Monday local time.

­Nadella made the above remarks in response to a question about how Microsoft will serve consumers in the near future. Under Nadella, Microsoft has reduced its focus on the smartphone Windows operating system while working on Office subscriptions and Azure public cloud services to meet the computing needs of enterprises.

But in a meeting with reporters on Monday local time, Nadella made it clear that Microsoft is still very concerned about the consumer business and that developing a new software package is part of this strategy.

­according to Ben Thompson's Stratechery newsletter on the press conference, Nadella said at the time, "to be fair, as I said at the beginning, we started from the consumer business after all. We will certainly be very committed to the recovery of this business."

­Nadella said of Surface, "Surface business is good, and consumers do end up with a special connection to the device they use." In the most recent fiscal year, Microsoft's Surface business revenue totaled $4.7 billion, or about 4 per cent of the company's total revenue.

­in response to Microsoft's Bing search engine and advertising business, Nadella said, "our strategic flexibility allows us to provide services that may be more suitable for end users, advertisers and publishers. So we hope to be able to do this even in this area."

­the chief executive also hinted at the possibility of developing a series of Microsoft 365 products for individual consumers, although he did not say what might be included, when they would be available or how much they would be sold. Microsoft did not respond to media requests for comment. A month ago, the website ZDNet reported on Microsoft's plans.

­Nadella said, "so I want to say that Surface has become a brand, and we take advantage of the services being offered by Office 365, or the subscriptions to the consumer version of Microsoft 365 that we are going to talk about, which will be full consumer business."

­on July 11, 2017, Microsoft released Microsoft 365, a suite of Office 365, Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security (Enterprise Mobility + Security) to provide enterprise users with a complete and intelligent security solution. Earlier this week, Microsoft announced an agreement with Walgreens Boots Alliance to provide the software to about 380000 employees.

­Nadella also talked about gaming projects at a press conference on Monday. The company has a subscription service called Game Pass and is preparing for a cloud streaming gaming service.

­"our business structure includes both the game console business and the PC business. In fact, our PC business is larger than the game console business, and our idea is to combine these businesses with subscription services." "We will not only provide a single service, some subscription services will be successful, so we will continue to pursue them," Nadella said. " (Tianmen Mountain)
