Yeah, I don't think it's actually as bad as the TC thinks. I know it's hard to keep the faith but things really aren't all that bad.
You guys really don't get it do you, There is no Windows PC there is no Windows Mobile, it is all Windows 10, That's the purpose of universal APP's, everything they talked about at Build that is coming to Windows 10 will be coming to your phone. That is the whole big reason and purpose of Windows 10, one OS, one platform for all Windows devices, you are all worked up over nothing. If you want to keep driving your car great but sooner or later no one will be making parts for it, same goes for your Windows phones running the older versions of Windows mobile.
Hear what you are saying, I too am a long time fan that gets pretty disillusioned with MS, especially where WP is concerned, they certainly have promised the world but only shown us an atlas.
However by focusing their energies on W10, the one platform and universal apps, they are by default progressing WP.
Can't build a house until the foundations are complete, and after several attempts, finally now maybe that foundation is nearing completion. Focus then on the walls and roof, and along the way the house becomes complete, a home.
Get the basics of the platform right with a new and revolutionary direction, work on the devs and hopefully then the remaining pieces will automatically fall into place.
You can't build a house from the top down. MS knows this, so they have bulldozed the old house and started again.
Fingers crossed.

The above is incorrect. At least they aren't progressing WP by default. Terry Meyerson said:
"Windows Phone isn't our focus this year"
That statement would make absolutely no sense if working on UWP automatically translated to work on Windows Phone by default. Why even state that they are not focusing on something, which according to you (and many others) is impossible to not focus on while progressing UWP.
they are working on the bigger picture and one part that will benefit as much as the other parts is mobile.
They are "focusing" on the bigger picture which, by definition is the contrary of focusing on a part of it. In other words they are focusing on windows10, full stop.

I agree, it?s really a stupid way to say and write, it was not a clever decision fro Microsoft, it makes a lot of misunderstanding.
And we are waiting and waiting, for what, maybe nothing.
I?m afraid to buy some hardware from Microsoft, whatever its Surface tablets or MS phones, what ever the name is today. Maybe everything is finished tomorrow, only because Microsoft again change things and make a new decision, then it?s me whos stay without nothing and useless garbage.
