Microsoft dwelling in mobile phones has been a disaster and this could not have happened to a nicer company. Microsoft has slashed jobs by the thousands and admitted its 2013 acquisition of Nokia was a major mistake that they will have to write off at a major loss. In an open letter to employees, CEO Satya Nadella said Microsoft will no longer focus on building a "standalone phone business." Instead, it will concentrate its resources on supporting the Windows software that powers Windows Phones and release limited flagship models. Microsoft admitted their crappy phones will never go mainstream as they have been stuck with a three percent share of the mobile industry for a long time. People nor the major carriers wanted to deal with another mobile platform and windows will always be seen as antiquated computer software and nothing modern or mobile. All their phones were ugly and really lacked any spark to get people interested because
I believe they were simply affiliated with Microsoft. this company will eventually kill off the disappointing Lumina line and their phones will go down in history as another mobile major failure through the years of these tech companies thinking their name is big enough for them to get into mobile and remain as competitive and monpolstic as their niche industry. No one will miss Microsoft being in mobile or their attempts for a third operating system. it appears Satya and his cronies have finally admitted that phones is something Microsoft can't compete and now many employees at Microsoft are going to pay the price.
