I just wish Microsoft could get their act together on their OS and release a Surface Phone
- ARandomerDude 2y agoAh yes, just what we’ve all been craving: even more Microsoft.
- matwood 2y agoYeah, interesting world where people are wanting MS to make a phone...again.
- peebeebee 2y agoThe Lumia phones were great. The first iterations of the OS tried to integrate 3rd party services deeply into the OS. (News, Social, Mail, Calendar aggregations) But the service-providers did not like that because: no advertising possibilities. Then they had to shift towards apps, but at that time they were way too late. If ARM matures, I could see a new Windows Phone.
- ruraljuror 2y agoAt first I laughed with your astute comment, then remembered Apple and its customers will now be paying (transitively) Microsoft to put this feature on phones. I still agree with the point, but Microsoft has done such an amazing job of evolving and staying relevant.
- nolongerthere 2y ago> I just wish Microsoft could get their act together on their OS and release a Surface Phone MS has given up on mobile as a OS or device category. In fact I’d argue MS has given up on the entire OS sector, as a revenue stream Windows is increasingly less relevant to their bottom line. They only see windows as a way to bring other applications (read: advertising) to their users but not as a means unto itself. Ask yourself, what new OS features has ms released since windows 10 that is more than UI changes, or applications that aren’t really a core part of the OS? Adding dark mode or tabs to notepad are not real features that anyone needs. The truth is that the OS has gotten so complicated and it’s nearly impossible to find competent talent that is excited about OS design and development so it’s barely possible to just keep the OS up to date with the latest hardware, there’s simply no time or effort available for new development.
- Something1234 2y agoI have a feeling plenty of talent is interested in it. They're just not sure how to break into the role.
- sho_hn 2y agoContribute to open source projects.
- nolongerthere 2y agoSame as always, apply. Specifically with OS stuff you’ll need to show an aptitude for it, easiest way is if you’re already a college grad and you took an OS design track. If you’re self taught, it’s much harder to prove you have the basics down, so as another person suggested, contribute to OSS projects, which also sounds daunting, but unlike web dev, OS dev is not somewhere where it’s ok to be mediocre.
- cjk2 2y agoMicrosoft released a surface phone years ago and pissed off the developers by forcing them to rewrite everything and they all went to Android and iOS. There has only been crack smokers at the wheel for the last 15 years or so.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 2y agoAre you too young to remember Windows Phone or what?
- rgrmrts 2y agoThey did, and the Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2 were complete failures. The software was awful (I had both).
