- m_mueller 11y agoBoy, I think this is the final blow for Microsoft's smartphone ambitions. Whatever technological advantage they would have had is now gone. Their strategy was all over the place in terms of platform - pretty much every version of Windows Phone AFAIK required a rewrite because of constantly shifting grounds.
- pjmlp 11y agoNot necessarily, all mobile phones are ARM based and continuum is already here. Yes, the rewrites were shitty. Apple and Google also do it, but they can allow themselves to push the developers through them.
- hga 11y agoSmartphones are all about ecosystems, and as the various Microsoft efforts there have shown, Apple and Google now have that locked up. However they don't do the x86/Windows ecosystems in phone space and not Apple in tablet space, and now no one will find out how much demand there was for x86 Windows smart phones.
- pjmlp 11y agoAgree, and I would actually gladly exchange my Android devices by WP ones, given the developer experience. I really don't get where do all those PhDs at Google work, surely not on Android dev tools. But Microsoft might still win the space of productive tablets, as I am yet to find one as good as the Surface.
