Still using Winpho till ATT says they won't support it. I had a chance to speak with developers on many occasions to urge them to do the relatively little work it required to create a Windows compatible app. Jason, did you sign an NDA with MS? I think MS should learn from google and apple. Let's look at the last 5-7 years. Time to focus, man. Managing desktop and server and client access licenses is enough to make even the most diligent accountant break into a cold sweat and grab his security blanket. Learn from mistakes and grow with concepts not with words.First and most important, build products/services for each and every person. Putting the best features of Windows on other eco systems isn't magically going to bring people over to MS. 7. Now all you do is to carve "Microsoft was here" in someone else's tree. And if I had an Xbox that would be on Craigslist tonight. last updated August 12, 2020. In that space, utlizing something like AR, comes into play for people holding phones in their hand, scanning their environment. Too late. So seen in that light I think Microsoft is doing damn well by supporting us until 2019. He's a first grade FOOL. no. Else what ninja cat rode which fire breathing unicorn? Never the less it's not to late, Microsoft has to formally announce on a massive stage, their mea culpa for abandoning consumers and how they will work to repair all the bridges they burnt.

And here we are again. I have been a Microsoft fan from the beginning and have enjoyed their products and I am a HUGE WINDOWSPHONE FAN but I am DONE! In fact, without the iPhone Apple would be a struggling little company. MS can do the world a favor and leave the consumer market altogether. About the time I got around to rewriting the app, since it worked just fine keeping it as an 8 app I took my time, 10 was coming out. This presents Nadella Satya two big challenges how to maintain loyal customers and how to cater to the new customers. It appears that Microsoft has forgotten how to be successful, please your customers. Why did users 'go off' the Windows Mobile as a solution? What really killed it though was the repeated reboots of mobile since WP7 where they left everyone in the dust moving forward. Nadella doesn't agree! Those are gentle, highly sanitized code words, of course. "People often ask how it's going," said Nadella. Soooo, back out of mobile which is something that literally people in every corner of the planet use, or need, but jump onto some super-niche, iffy at best crap like VR? Windows Phone just worked, but with each release they took away more and more features and broke other ones. Movies and TV will be next. And then make whatever changes seem appropriate without being panicked by a single shareholder whose holdings constitute less than 1 percent of all shares. If MS has truely solved the CORE system then the Nadellas comments and the rest make sense and the development problem of a "mobile," desktop, and Social (Smart TV, IOT world) becomes trule nothing but a semantic difference in how a user interacts. That was the most stupid decision except for leaving the market. We were told that Microsoft was compremetida with Windows 10 mobile and now we leave the users side, Microsoft Lords as you want to grow the quota if you do not sell phones and does not enough marketing and the developers are going other platform RMs. If UWP really means, for the most part, a wrapper to distribute apps in a low quality store then UWP lacks any real point other than as a curated software respository. the next shiny object they are loseing attention span with is continuum I'm sure apple and google are going o thrive wit it And with out a phone your AI is not going to be in too many peoples hands .

MS just doesn't get internationalisation, or user needs outside of the US tech bubble. The world may not need a third ecosystem, but Microsoft needed to be that third ecosystem. Hi Bai, that's a valid point. This is a death note for Microsoft and they will go the way of IBM. You're dreaming. We know now how that turns out. HP would have felt the love and support they want and continued to develop the line in conjunction or beside the mythical Andromeda device as a more "phone like" iteration and a solid OEM partner would be there. We need to think about unintended consequences of our technology, for example. Then just like Centennial, allow Android apps to take advantage of UWP features (live tiles, etc) this is the 'extend'. What really hurts is that people buy what they know. A typical day for Nadella begins with exercise and personal reflection. I will watch and see! "We have to get past what we describe as 'productivity . Me too. Nadella Satya has tried to diversify first using different brands and then by adding various features based on customer preferences. The fact that Google did and Microsoft didn't is, well, rather sad in my view. Certain apps were noticeably missing, but it remained a viable platform for many people and was even quite popular in a number of countries outside the US.

I don't know if I'm at all typical, but I was a loyal MS fan for years, and went to great effort to work within your ecosystem - phones, tablets, PC's. Omissions? They cancel products and services without thinking twice and assuming that consumers just have money to throw around to buy new products and services Opportunities are macro environment factors and developments that Nadella Satya can leverage either to consolidate existing market position or use them for further expansion. FOLKS PERHAP WE WILL SEE MICROSOFT DEBUT AND SELL A MINI TABLET CELL PHONES HYBRID DEViCE. Maybe it's a symptom of their hiring practices and cost cutting, but too many people who work at MS don't actually like the company. I just ordered a Pixel 2, created a Google account and will begin to transition over time from Outlook, OneNote, OneDrive & Cortana to all the other Google apps and programs too.

The mobile division was a money pit that was unlikely to turn a profit anytime soon (ifever); Bellifore even said that they had a PAY developers to make WP apps.
