Zurtilik posted:Windows Phone was good. yeah, classic yospos curse where satya is good at bringing in the o365 and azure revenue, which yospos all around called was the kind of thing they needed to do, but it is also so *incredibly* boring, where ballmer pissing away money on dumb but pretty good stuff was much better posting material. see also, of course: apple selling you some subscriptions.

qirex posted:if you count their legacy support contracts for embedded devices I'd guess that winmo 6.5 outlasted all the attempts to replace it windows ce and windows embedded are still everywhere. our transit fare readers run it also these things it made for an absolutely terrible phone os if you intended to use your phone as a phone, if only because of issues with memory leaks and the primary failure mode being the dialer crashing and not making that in any way apparent until it dawns on you that you haven't had a call in a while.

wince was a pile of crusty garbage that had no place in the modern smartphone era and ms was right to kill it unfortunately they hosed up everything after that im really curious about all the industrial/embedded poo poo that's still using wince though. are these vendors paying assloads to MS for continued support or are they all saying "gently caress it we'll do it live" for this poo poo? i would hope there's nothing new still being produced and sold running this crap but my gut says "lol"

i imagine some of them have migrated to windows embeded, others to linuces, but the majority are probably just running completely unsupported wince.

SO DEMANDING posted:wince was a pile of crusty garbage that had no place in the modern smartphone era and ms was right to kill it one of my earliest gigs was making sure 25,000 pound things dont hit 180 pound things. it ran wince then, and as far as i can tell, it runs wince now. i bet they love having to keep an old version of visual studio installed in a vm to compile for it.

it's called "wince" because that's what you do when you see things running it
