And the big question here, friends and foes, is that where on the good green earth is the Windows Phone version of the remote client? Microsoft, obviously, has a bit of a habit of prioritizing its iOS and Android apps, sometimes ahead of Windows Phone ones.

Take the official Skype clients, for instance.

This usually has got a lot to do with the titanic market share of these two competing mobile platforms. Now Redmond has just announced that it will be providing some extra incentive to users of its latest server operating system in the form of Remote Desktop apps.

These landmark new apps will allow remote connections to Windows Server 2012 R2.

Microsoft made these new apps official in a brief mention in a press release that actually talks about Redmond’s cloud-based enterprise software services.

And while the company has not actually talked about these apps in details, Michael Roth, a Microsoft desktop services side MVP has posted more information about these apps on his blog today, saying:

“When you see the clients you’ll notice they are pretty sweet and not as basic or as ‘v1′ as you might expect. The iOS Remote Desktop app supports iOS 6 and 7 and the Android Remote Desktop app is posed to support Android versions as far back as Gingerbread.

The OS X Remote Desktop app provides even more functionality that you would expect from a ‘desktop app’. Think about ‘seamless windows’ or ‘applications portal’.”

While this is a welcome strategy from Microsoft and seems that the company is very much open to releasing its software products on a number of different platforms, a Windows Phone app would actually be very much welcome by the loyal and dedicated user base.

Fingers crossed that a Windows Phone Remote Desktop app for Windows Server 2012 R2 is announced very soon.

Speaking of announcements, Redmond has not actually offered a specific release date and pricing for the iOS and Android clients, only confirming that the apps are on track for release later this month.

The company will also release new and updated versions of its Remote Desktop apps for Windows, Windows RT and OS X.

Due To Slow Windows 8 Sales , Ballmer Couldn't Get 21% Of His Target Bonus

It can be said with reasonably certitude that the past year or so was slow for PC industry in general and Microsoft in particular. Sustained decline in computers meant that overall sales of Windows 8 suffered as a result.

And the company has revealed some rather interesting details in a new proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this week. Without providing too many specifics, Redmond confirmed that sales were below expectations for both Windows 8 and the Surface RT.

Here is what the company mentioned in the fiscal year 2013 proxy statement:

“The company faced challenges due to weakness in the consumer PC market. While the launch of Windows 8 in October 2012 resulted in over 100 million licenses sold, the challenging PC market coupled with the significant product launch costs for Windows 8 and Surface resulted in an 18% decline in Windows Division operating income.

Slower than anticipated sales of Surface RT devices and the decision to reduce prices to accelerate sales resulted in a $900 million inventory charge.”

The board was less than impressed with the recent performance of both these key products. The result being that Ballmer received only 79 percent of his eligible incentive award for the company’s fiscal year 2013, compared to the corresponding figures of 91 percent in fiscal year 2012.

This still translates to total payments of $1.25 million for the outgoing Microsoft CEO in fiscal year 2013, which include a base salary of $697,500 and a bonus of $550,000.

For comparison’s sake, Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner, Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood and Office president Kurt DelBene all received 100 percent of their incentive payments. Satya Nadella, the Server and Tools head, on the other hand, has been granted 105 percent of his bonuses.
