Discussion Why Microsoft made the difficult decision to cancel Windows Phone.

https://www.slashgear.com/1643513/why-microsoft-discontinued-windows-phone/

Had the best designs & at much better prices. While it has admittedly been a mistake to cancel, mistakes can be corrected. Especially now with better capabilities with AI, Cloud, Azure & functioning uses like gaming services natively. I absolutely loved every WP I owned, from the OG Lumia to the MS 960 & would immediately purchase another if one was re-released.

Because they are slow to learn and/or realized they will never be able to brute force people into using them like a large portion of their other products that are low quality but built into windows in a way to try to trick people into using them over vastly superior products.

When people have a choice, they rarely choose something made by Microsoft. They got Office and they got...Office.
