Market says many things my friend. As it says google and more, apple both don’t have any future what so ever in the cloud business. Yeah market is very deceiving. Because you have no future if you don’t have a good cloud system plan. See, it is true that windows didn’t have a chance against android and IOS in PHONE business. But is it because its not as good as them? WRONG. Actually its far better than them in any imaginable way. Power, speed, design, management and it is the only phone OS that can actually come back to life after it is completely erased !!!. so why did it not get any good market???? Apps. The most childish kind of software ever made. Mini softs for small processors. Yep. And how it happened??? Being late to the market. Now why windows phone never dies? Because windows the only hyper OS diverse enough to be contained in any kind of device. And because of that, windows in the future will not appear as phone but as mobile. Meaning phone business with its two first OSes will go out of order and become obsolete. Windows will be portable like a phone in a new shape that represents new personal computers. PCs that have calling as a side option and not as their main purpose. THE NEXT LEVEL. Microsoft had its phone OS for 3 years really. All of the years behind 2015 windows wasn’t windows at all. Just a similar looking OS. See that’s what I mean by late. For the next big market though, both top phone OSes will be totally useless. They need to be stretched to fit. That’s why android is losing market to windows in tablet business. Because people want practicality when possible. Practicality in phones is not possible that’s why everyone goes for the childish solution. Phone is an old invention which is no longer tolerated even with lots of little games and apps. PC however is the humans best invention. Its capable while phone isn’t. So yes windows in phones business is DONE. Never got any chance. But look. The hole Phone idea is dying. By that I can say both IOS and android are already becoming dead. Windows phone is not dead. Hole phone is dead.
