If Microsoft cedes ground to Amazon, or more precisely fails to grow its share of this market, it could harm its ability to promote its own software products, not to mention see a key new revenue source stagnate. Microsoft has been strident in the past in stating that it intends to have strong margins on the Surface line of products. After several paragraphs it ended on a balanced note, stating: "Both Bing and Bard have their strengths and weaknesses, and they are still evolving and improving over time.

Even the iphone needed a reboot every week or two. Yeah, some of the analogies in these comments are beyond the pale. I was MS biggest cheer leader. Microsoft may have done better to keep a controlling share of Nokia and just let it run itself. Wasted my 20 years loyalty. Its no good chasing the 'shiny new thing' if you cannot make your kit work now. Additionally, the important thing to note is the smartphone/mobile market has been led directly from consumers, and not enterprise. Which is what it looked like they were doing and what HP was doing.

If I ever make the switch to another phone, I will share that, but I'm one tough customer to get to change over from something I bought for a reason and I don't see that reason in another product. Link to the interview please. The only thing I can see is them forking Android apps to work natively on the PC.

HOWEVER, If the shift towards business grows and windows turns into a business only OS, with lack of cool features for producing, photos, videos etc, I am going to have to go to apple. WP is not OneCore so RIP WP, as announced. I feel your pain! In terms of achieving more successful innovation and bringing further improvement in the organizational growth, the business environment at Microsoft should be reviewed to determine the strengths and weaknesses.

The launchers and Cortana they came out with on Android are nice, but they didn't even bother to properly integrate Cortana into the launcher. I wouldn't expect immediategrowth and a great spurt of Windows fans coming back, but if they made a device (whether it looked like a phone or not), showed actual commitment behind it, and marketed the death out of it by showcasing its many features via various media mediums, change is possible. I'm not worried about the hardware though. At the end of the day we're supposed youse it, but many features are good in potential but are half baked, or even not accessible in many regions and languages.

Never the less it's not to late, Microsoft has to formally announce on a massive stage, their mea culpa for abandoning consumers and how they will work to repair all the bridges they burnt. Youi cannot preach "Windows Everywhere" and "Eco System" without looking at the profitibility of the combined effort. No such action has been taken so I call BS on MS. Is he really a CEO ?

I agree with much of what you said.and then Befiores comment.he must never have gone into any of the phone storesbecause during MOST of windows phones life (regardless of iteration), you could almost never find them in the storesor they were relegated to the back tiny corner with next to no supportand most of the folks in the store would either tell you bad thing about the phone (not truly knowing the truth or having any experience or training in the phopne whatsoever), or push you to either android or iPhones.
