        Microsoft are the present day IBM, complete with supporting the present day version of the NAZIs whilst they commit their very own version of the Holocaust.

      They tried; it must’ve been 4 times. But unless it’s a sure thing, they’ll give up.

      I worry they don’t know how to compete on a level ground, slowly building trust and business on success after success.

        It also didn’t help that they did a complete rebuild of Windows Phone OS 3 times, making old apps incompatible and forcing the very little support of app developers to get alienated from the platform. Why would you completely rebuild your app 3 times for a super low market share product.

      True. As much as I hate to admit it, the Windows phones were actually pretty good.

      Had they not botched app adoption and then immediately given up, they could have done fairly well.

        Agreed I have been a Linux Stan since the 90s and even I thought windows phone was pretty good.

        That’s the nokia hardware they installed win mobile on?

        I was looking forward to a good nokia candybar phone, but gave up when they were bought and the hardware went under a win OS.

      Satya may have grown the company share price but he’s absolutely killed everything that made Microslop even remotely interesting before he became CEO.
