yeah MS investment plans on android, ios starting to pay off so much to a point that made me buy an android phone for a better MS apps and MS apps updates :eck::eck::eck::eck:
Yup, 2 down, 999,999,998 to go.
Universal apps for Windows 10 is NOT going to bring anyone from Android or IOS over to our side. I honestly do not know why anyone would believe that.
Considering and doing are poles apart. I did. I left android after many years of using and rom cooking from the Galaxy 2 through to 3, and predominantly Note 3. I'm not going back. Lollipop always felt unfinished, OEM's, like Samsung, took ages to release official OS's, and they were stacked with bloat, memory bleed always an issue, several releases to fix continuous bugs.....
Love the windows OS. Not going back.
I feel the same. I got tired of flashing buggy ROMs every week. But if the OEMs keep pushing Android, Android will be on top for awhile. Microsoft doesn't do enough to push the platform.
Well, that is all part of MS's (Nadella's) plan. If MS makes their other services/apps (OneDrive, Skype, OneNote, Bing, Outlook, Cortana, etc...) on all platforms really excellent, then sooner or later some iAndroid users are going to think, "Damn, if MS's services are really this good and reliable I should pick up a W10 phone too."
I get that there is some frustration right now with apps being released earlier on Android and Ios, and being better on those platforms, I have felt that same angst. But looking at the "long view", Satya has said on more than one occasion that their goal is to have the BEST experience for MS apps and services be on WP...
Rome wasn't built in a day, and WP has a LONG way to go to be a viable player, but considering the mess Ballmer left us with, I am cautiously EXCITED about where MSFT is going with mobile...
Those who wish to can now resume their wailing and gnashing of teeth. LOL
It worked for other manufactures such as Macs for Apple, Honda auto back in the 80's, and Amazon.com in the 90's. It's not a dream, it's history. You build something great and people notice and rethink their products/services of choice.I cannot laugh enough when I see such comments. You think an Android user or iPhone user will come to WP just because MS services are great? If these services are great on their platform, why switch to one that is barely supported by carriers and shops, and even worse by devs?
Stop dreaming.
