"How is this nimble?"

In the same way a supertanker turning with a turn radius of 5 miles is "nimble." Microsoft is a big place with a lot of entrenched products, processes, and policies. Being able to change those to enable shipping this product is 'nimble.' Continuing to not adapt to the way to the way the world is changing would be "non nimble."

Personally I think it shows a lot of growth on Microsoft's part, and that is a good thing.
