Microsoft giving up on phones? Naaahh … Windows 10 Mobile lumbers toward

Windows 10 Mobile allows you to enter your passcode four time in a row if you get it wrong. Microsoft just announced plans to restructure its phone hardware business to better focus and align resources. A few days ago he posted a question on twitter that if there’s been a Windows Phone with a front flash yet, to which most of the audience replied with the negative remarks.

It’s too early to tell if Windows 10 will turn the tide for Microsoft. For the time-strapped, Goode’s argument can be summed up in the quote, “The experience isn’t as awful as the reports from mobile analysts might lead you to think”.

This move from Microsoft didn’t exactly come as a surprise as it was expected to write off all or part of the $7.2 billion it sunk in to acquire Nokia’s handset unit in 2014.

This Wifi feature has the potential to be one of Microsoft’s more popular apps, especially since a lot of smartphones have the capacity to become portable Wi-Fi hotspots. Additionally, these enterprises run ActiveSync, a Microsoft app released in 1996 to synchronize data between mobile devices and desktop computers, for mobile device management and security. The Nokia deal bought Microsoft another couple of years to find that successful formula that always seemed to elude them. Since becoming chief executive, Nadella has increased the development of apps and services for Google’s Android devices and Apple’s iOS products. Previous CEO Steve Ballmer had fundamentally altered his visions for the company, after the surprising departure. Though there’s one feature that Microsoft has activated with this new build, which for now is limited to users who live in the Seattle area. It is mainly Microsoft’s hardware group, including the struggling smartphone business employees, who will have to bear the brunt of the job losses.

“I am committed to our first-party devices, including phones”, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement Wednesday.

As the July 29 scheduled release date for Windows 10 draws closer, Microsoft-watchers are spotting signs of close-to-final builds of the new operating system. Windows 7 and Windows XP still dominate, compared to Windows 8, even though Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP and had long discouraged manufacturers from shipping new PCs with Windows 7.
