That might have been true. There were actually two phone teams at Intel working with the same hardware. WinPhone and Android. Our budget came from the Android budget, as they had already been funded and working on the Android version for 6 months already. It came time to demo the phones and our WinPhone could make calls, get internet, and connect to wifi. The android phone could only boot. So the Android team took back what remained of the budget, because it was felt that more Android phones would sell. The WinPhone was put on pause. Then, the android team ran out of budget and the whole thing was scuttled, including WinPhone. I bet MSFT was doing Intel a solid by not trashing Intel because it's Android team dropped the ball. Props to MSFT for that.
Same. And I'm never looking back.
