I believe WP/MS committed suicide. They did not listen to their market and apart from the obvious app compatibility and lack of apps in general they totally forgot about people not really liking the unified design of the phones (you can't go the apple way if your audience does not like your defaults). Tiles were really meh and people still prefer app icons a la ios/android. I believe Microsoft still has a chance but they need to 1) talk to samsung and other big android/smartphone manufacturers 2) make a killer feature

The thing people liked most about wp was it had a different UI. There were people that didn't like it, sure, but WPs main cheering point was the original UI. That was absolutely not the problem "talk to Samsung"? Samsung dominate android phone sales. They are single handedly winning the phone wars against iphone. Why would they now support a potential challenge to that?

  They also have their own OS to worry about, which they are rebooting once more, now with .NET Core as SDK.
