Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake::Satya Nadella wrote off Microsoft’s Nokia phone business acquisition and now says the company’s exit from mobile was a mistake.
It’s a good thing they stopped.
Right now any phone’s UI is about 10 times faster than windows 11 is on a modern computer. Just imagine a phone that’s this slow.
That is a bad take, IMO. More competition in the phone OS market is better than the virtually 2 that we have now (yes, I know there are alternatives, but android and ios collectively make up over 98% of the OS market). They’re all offered by terrible companies, yes, but letting Google and Apple completely dominate the market unchecked hasn’t exactly resulted in a healthy situation, either.

An Ubuntu like alternative exists and has existed for over a decade. Canonical abandoned it a few years back and someone else is trying to develop it but there’s basically zero interest or traction.
Mozilla also tried it with Firefox OS.
I swear to God listening to you people talk about windows is like watching late night infomercials
Windows may indeed perform like shit, but Windows phone didn’t. It rang rings around android big time in terms of performance.
Windows phone was heavily stripped down.
