I think you're missing the point. It takes a massive amount of effort to design, build and ship the operating system and device that you like. This is a tremendous resource drain on Microsoft, who could be using the money and manpowe

> Sales are low Sales are falling off of a cliff (declining 50% YoY). Developers are not building (or updating) apps for these devices. No matter what brand name they use, it isn't clear that anything is going to change these facts.

This is probably the worst item I've ever seen rise to #1 on Hacker News. It's poorly written, is based completely on a weekend worth of anecdotes and makes several claims that seem impossible ($15 IPAs).

I think it is. It's easy to be supremely objective here on HN, but belief is malleable. I mean, if you knew what was going to happen, you'd make a fortune on the stock market. I think people are pretty good about differentiating

Unless you're paying less for the same line items, it's not really useful to say that you're running leaner. You might simply be using fewer tools.

The increased rate of innovation (measured in months rather years) that is customary in SV has the perverse effect of hurting resale value. Think of how quickly an iPhone depreciates. This is good for bargain hunters but increases the cost

It's a nice analogy, but at least in the housing market you're equally likely to be a winner (sell before crash) as a loser (buy before crash).
