Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake - The Verge
Nadella, Gates, and Ballmer have all admitted to Microsoft’s mobile mistakes.
lol they made lots of mistakes in Windows Phone.. giving up was probably the only smart thing they did. It gave them resources to focus on making mistakes in Windows 11
Everyone I know who had a Windows phone liked it a lot. What killed the Windows phone wasn't a bad phone, it was an empty app store.
Which is why it was the correct choice to abandon it. Sometimes you are just too late, and no amount of good design will make you succeed
I hope they get back into it. Only having two OS options has always bothered me.
Linux on mobile, while not ready for daily driving yet (IMO), is evolving at a steady pace. In a few years, it should be a good alternative to the big two.
Gods, I'm so fucking ready for a truly viable Linux phone. They're getting close like you said, but damn.
Was it tho?
