While the company initially attracted praise for its approach to the mobile operating system, a lack of compelling devices across the price range, vital features and popular third-party apps led to its slow death. .
And now what? Microsoft now only supports Windows 10 Mobile, τα οποία είναι ουσιαστικά μια επέκταση της πλατφόρμας της desktop έκδοσης, αλλά δεν είναι σε καμία περίπτωση ένας πραγματικός αντίπαλος για τα Android ή iOS.
