How does WP stack up against iOS and Android as an OS (so apart from the app gap)

Nah, wish I was. Freezing more often than usual, notifications are more miss than hit, weird page rendering. I anticipate a fix soon, Apple usually does.

And they will be forgiven and praised for their innovations!
I loved Apple when they were the underdog. Now not so much, in case you couldn't tell.
Now I'm rooting for another underdog.

To those who like bashing Windows and thinking the Duopoly From Above is infallible, do NOT get the 10.3.1 update on your iPhone unless you want an aneurysm.

Noted. Thanks for the warning.

On the iOS front, one thing is significantly improving with iOS 11: users will finally be able to customize the Control Center, and it's been reduced to one page as opposed to the (imo) impractical two page solution of today:

One thing that's as bad in iOS as it is in WP: many apps don't support landscape view. Although at least Waze on iOS does support it.

Win for WP10: I could stop my phone alarm in the other room using my PC without getting up.

Win for iOS: force touch works on home screen icons, whereas on WP long-press on tiles starts the 'customize layout' mode. Example benefit: you can access a short list of recent documents by force touching the Word app icon.
