I think they cut support for Windows Phones too soon, honestly. Should have stuck it out for longer.

They killed a good product that people liked (CE) to push a bad product that no one liked and then blamed everyone else when that product failed. Reminds me of a primary from a few years back...

The people who used Windows Phones loved them. The UI was great, live tiles were legitimately the best, and integrating social media apps into your "people" feed was genius.

It just sucks that it didn't get third-party app support from developers.
