You didn’t miss the “mobile wave”. You purposely gave up. Idiots.

True. As much as I hate to admit it, the Windows phones were actually pretty good.

Had they not botched app adoption and then immediately given up, they could have done fairly well.

Agreed I have been a Linux Stan since the 90s and even I thought windows phone was pretty good.

The windows phones were fucking magical

They were not good, they were dogshit. I had one and it was like a decade behind android.

Satya may have grown the company share price but he's absolutely killed everything that made Microslop even remotely interesting before he became CEO.

They freaking gave up on anything quickly if they are not immediately the leader in the market.

Microsoft are the present day IBM, complete with supporting the present day version of the NAZIs whilst they commit their very own version of the Holocaust.
