Hey you might be right!
Firing lowly employees is good for the rich share holders !

Asha and dumb phones are also dead. It's all WP now.
Microsoft paid $7 billion for 12.500 employees and the Lumia brand. Lenovo bought Motorola for just $3 billion.
I always hated the idea of Nokia X and I'm glad they are shifting focus. If they are shifting the Nokia X design to Lumia and putting on WP, does this mean that existing Nokia X phones could get an update to WP as well or at least the ability to flash WP on them and start from scratch? I wonder.
That means Microsoft found a way to get Android apps on Windows phone
Let your friend try Windows Phone. Who knows, she might like it.
Seriously, a lot of people are hating WP without even trying to use it.
That's the problem mate...they JUST don't want to pick it up. The moment you utter "Windows Phon...." They are shaking their head violently...and believe me, every single one who has used it after the initial stage of skepticism, have never gone back to anything else. Definitely not Android. But it's that first level they need to cross..
I think your making some assumptions that anyone who uses WO for a good amount never goes back to anything else. I know that I used WP for about a month and had to go back to iOS because of apps.

IMO, it's decisions like the Nokia X that led to Nokia losing the smartphone market and being bought out by Microsoft. The Nokia X is a directionless, poorly thought out phone with little hope of succeeding. That was Nokia before selling out. They had too many phones, too many OSs and no idea which direction they wanted (or needed) to go. It's no surprise that Nokia's first post-Windows Phone device turned out to be a complete mess. I'm glad Microsoft isn't dealing with this headache anymore.
So, I get that from a usability standpoint it's good they stuck with WP, but that still doesn't solve the app problem. At least going android they would get a lot more apps.
Personally, since it was probably Elop that did this hardball play with Microsoft,
