No doubt, what little trust remained after the abandonment of Windows phone was well and truly wiped out with the mishandling of Duo, but let's be honest here, if Microsoft dropped a windows powered folding phone tomorrow, we'd all be in the queue

While I'd jump on a phone like that, I also would have been very happy with a successor to the Duo 2 running Android. The MS ecosystem was alive and optimally supported by those devices, plus they had the benefit of running all the Android apps, including general support for local services like banks, travel companies, store shopping tools, etc. that never would have made it to Windows Phone (cost of supporting 3 OS's just not worth it to a non-tech company).

Meanwhile, even Samsung is ignoring MS AI efforts in favor of Google's. Once again, MS hurts its own strategic initiatives due to a lack of ensuring they always have some smartphone on the market.
