Android Killed Windows Phone, Not Apple
I&#x27;d say Microsoft killed Windows Phone. They reset the ecosystem twice (once when Phone 7 apps weren&#x27;t compatible with 8, and after then Phone 8 apps weren&#x27;t compatible with 10).<p>When you&#x27;ve got little apps to start with obviously the best idea was to throw them all out twice and hope the developers are still interested. Not to mention the dev environment required Windows 8 - personally this is what discouraged me from even trying to develop on the platform, I wasn&#x27;t going to give up my perfect Windows 7 installation for a toy OS that will allow me to create apps for a toy phone while getting in my way when I tried to do real work.<p>Add to that a shitty web browser and quite slow devices and obviously its failure must be the fault of the competition, I mean how can such a great product fail?<p>The only good thing I can remember about my Windows Phone is that it handled IMAP push notifications, something iOS is still lacking.
