If Market share has fallen, and MS say they want to stay..why are they doing it again???

Really Jaz?? My guess is you also did not take the time to read.......you would rather appear cool and smart and flip out a comment.......

I have even stated......."I hope I am wrong" basically about what I see happen.

I don't post in a vacuum nor do I post to be "cool". This for me is yet another in that long line of Tales of Woe we suffer through in this forum. When I read stuff like:
"I am left with the feeling Microsoft is falling into it's old tricks mode again ( slowly this time in the hopes no one sees the pattern from the past)."

And:

"So why would I have the feeling Microsoft is again starting to creep up on another Windows Mobile to WP7 and WP7 to WP8 **** storm?

I will start with Windows RT Surface 1 and Surface 2, they have reached the end of the line and will get a much smaller update with Windows 10 like additions ( This is so Windows Phone 7.8), however I understand Microsoft is leaving the ARM tablet market so ok this one is not as upsetting as the Out Right Lie of Windows Phone 7.8 was as was WinMo 6.5 to WP7 was."

it is really hard to read this any other way. A tale of woe.

The problem as stated in the first post is the fear Microsoft is falling into it old tricks again.......basically pull another money grab. As they did with the switch from WinMo 6.5 to WP7 and again on the switch from WP7 to WP8.

Show off what the next gen will be, hint at OS upgrades then slowly over time claim "Hardware issues" as the reason to have to buy all new phones again.

Now I am not saying this is the case, but from the bits that come out the old pattern is starting to show up again.

"old pattern is starting to show up again" - this is just your personal guess/prediction.

Whether you like it or not, what's Microsoft is doing now is quite different from what they did 5-10 years ago. I don't see any trend of "old pattern" showing up again.

Look at what's happening right now. Why look at the past?
