This right here. I'm almost afraid it might be too late for them, but Microsoft has been doing it right time and time again with their hardware, and now with their OS (at least after 8.1). I've been a Windows user since 3.11, but I'm always on the verge of switching over to OSX as my main dev/personal machine... Windows 10 & the Surface Pro have been able to at least delay this switch this time around. Microsoft is the one that is closest to what I think the future should be: only one device you dock and use. Not sure I'd want a Windows phone either (I'm currently on Android) but I might rethink that in the future as well.

Same here. Been using Windows forever and Android for mobile. If Google releases their apps for Windows Phone I might give it a go. I believe the idea of Continuum is targeted to light Office users, people who work on basic spreadsheets and word. It has a target market but I am not sure how big it is.

I went from a Galaxy SIII to an Nokia Icon, now running WP 8.1. IME, the OS and associated MS apps are fantastic, the phone is solid, and I have no complaints. If that's all you cared about I'd say switch today. But there is definitely an app gap. I was never a huge app user, and most of what I used was there, but I'm pretty sure that's not true for most people. It's pretty hit or miss. You can find Facebook, Teamviewer, Netflix, and Plex, but if you want Snapshat, you're SOL. There aren't even any third party Snapchats around, because Snapchat demanded they be removed from the Windows Store. There's no first-party Google apps, no doubt a big stumbling block for a lot of people.
