WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Folks, Windows Phone is dead. Give it a rest already.

It is now Windows for Phones for a reason...MSFT is creating one seamless as experience for all its platforms. Kinda like what Apple is going for. The problem is that some of MSFT's brands are well received, others have a horrid rep. They may integrate their offerings eventually, bit they have to have an experience superior to Apple in the minds of many to undue some of the damage of the tarnished brands currently residing under the MSFT umbrella.

They'll still be in 3rd place in the mobile space. That won't change. They do not need to lure people existing Android and iOS users. They need to recruit new users and or the platform agnosts, like me. I would use Cortana over Google Now on Android. I would definitely use the old school AOSP with limited Google apps and MSFT offerings over Google's Stock Android. While people ***** and moan about the loss of uniqueness of WP with Nadella trying to offer WP exclusives on Android and iOS, they miss the bigger picture. MSFT is now officially a services company. They shouldn't mind getting someone who is tradionally Apple but likes Cortana, or Office, because they still count as a MSFT user since they're using a MSFT service.

These companies care only about the bottom line at the end of the day. You are just a statistic to Google, Apple or MSFT...a potential revenue source. Therefore, just use the best combo of services for you as an end user. Just give up the blind follow ship.

Tech is fun, but being a sheep isn't.

I see we're back on stretch of less constructive dialogue. I've got a Japanese speech to go review. If it wasn't so long, I'd post it here.

I didn't get this that way. I think he meant WP on it's own is dead but not Windows for phones. They are trying to make an ecosystem with W10. It will probably play nicer if you have WIN PC, TAB and phone but it will work even if you don't, just not as good and probably with limited functionality.
MS is trying to push it services where ever they can to who ever that can. Services is where the money is made and there is no reason not to push services to as many people as possible. I think WP still has its purpose but it will never be as big as Android or even iOS.

This is my interpretation but it could be wrong though.

Both my iPhone and Honor 6 have Microsoft apps primarily, as that's what I use and I love being able to use them in any platform.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I would too but would other do. I texted a friend who I would consider unbiased and uses whatever works for her . She told me that's cool but wouldn't download cortana because she likes Google now. That's what I'm wondering will download cortana if it was made available ?

If only I could remove the apple apps and use msft apps I would do the same thing then again that's why I have a wp ;p

I would use Cortana if and only if it's good on the OS I'm currently using. I wouldn't get it just to have it. Then again I'm not really into the whole speaking to my phone and it telling me jokes thing....

I agree with everything you say. What the future holds is anyone's guess. We can say what we like but the truth is things change quickly so who knows what next year will bring?

Will be interesting to see. That's the way I view things anyway.
