The Perpetual Broken Promises List

[afripino]

In an effort to gain a TRUE perspective on what exactly was promised vs. what was actually delivered by Microsoft in terms of Windows Phone features, I think we should compile a PRECISE listing of what broken promises. I'm looking for announcement dates, what was promised, and what was delivered. Not a critique of Microsoft, just a list of facts so we can keep the opinions from clouding our judgments. Please keep rumored projects (e.g. Surface Phone and McLaren) out of this list.

I'll start...

- Promised:
Build 2014 (Apr 2, 2014) - Live Lock Screen API for developers
- Delivered:
Live Lock Screen Beta app, Tetra Lockscreen (Microsoft Garage project) - both apps discontinued, API was not released to 3rd party developers

 

[RumoredNow]

Didn't Live Lock Screen Apps bork a lot of stuff?

I'm not questioning the promise, just remember the forum threads.
