I don't think we need to read too much into this. Satya is the CEO of the organization now, and Bill Gates helped select him. With hiring him Bill Gates has agreed to his vision of the company and his ability to bet on the right "horses", if Satya says he's not in favor of spinning off the xbox division, then I believe Bill Gates would agree with him aswell.



I don't believe Satya is wanting to spin off the xbox division. But then again this is just my opinion.
