The best for me is #windows10mobile plus the lack of apps is a huge problem. We want new apps you have to find a way to attract more devlop

didn't back the product enough. Developers were coming but one can't develop apps when you kill 98% of the hardware.

Exactly. Microsoft tried very hard. The community tried hard. You don't even know half of it.

At last a Microsoft employee giving honest answers. Thank you Joe. I switched to Android and use Microsoft launcher and apps. Very happy..

For Microsoft fans, Microsoft has not acted honestly, let alone with respect. Do not deserve our support in the iOS or Android! Never more

Finally some honest and clear word by a MSFT executive. Thanks

When you don't really believe in your own platform (and it shows) devs stay away. Best mobile OS got wrecked by ignorance

You have rebooted the OS three times,left people in the dark.then abandoned what differentiates winphone from iOS/Android.
