And Google updating this old code in 3, 2, 1
Probably just deleting it ๐
It's a shame, the original windows.phone concept was great
It was great. Even if I didn't like the idea of "yet another walled garden, funded by a company known for its track record against open source software (this was during Ballmer era)", I really liked the design and how fluid the interface was. It could have become another player in the mobile market and lessen the practical duopoly. Firefox OS tried this too, but it also went under.
It was great until people were forced to buy a new phone instead of receiving updates
Oh, how they handled their phone devision was awful. The original "how would we build a new phone OS from scratch" bit was awesome though
