ms also naively expected everyone to rewrite all of their poo poo in c# for winphone 7, which naturally didn't happen. so not only did they have a new phone platform that was already arriving years late to the party, but they ensured that it had a meager app selection next to it's competitors sweaty ballmer's hubris wrt smartphones and a changing consumer landscape basically knocked ms out of the mobile device market forever

the gently caress? this ui can have two dimensions? so instead of tapping a button or tab to jump to another screen, you can swipe to it, this is not a huge cognitive leap and it's not functionally different from how springboard or the app tray work infernal machines fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Feb 28, 2019 |

swiping on iOS is either optional, in which case there's a Back button of some sort on the upper left of the UI, or mandatory in which case there's a current page indicator at the bottom of the screen edit: back button isn't quite right, often times it is a back button, but sometimes you start out in the primary UI view and then can press buttons in the upper left/right to slide something over the primary view or slide the primary view out of the way, either way an animation plays when you tap the button and sure enough if you make the gesture to undo the animation it does what you expect pseudorandom name fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Feb 28, 2019 |

They were so good, no one wanted them and they were a laughing stock except to some hardcore fans. Android back then was way better, that's how terrible WinPhone was.

my favorite part about WinPho Series Phone for Phones was that they broke compatibility for every major point release so not only were early adopters completely hosed over, but no one wanted to develop anything because it was a waste of time and money to rewrite your app for the 10 idiots who bought them thats our microsoft

microsoft is doomed to keep making money forever and never fix anything. why do you use windows? everything works on it. why does windows suck? ancient cruft that exists so everything works on it. if you pull either pillar out- everything works, or infinite bloat, it collapses.

Of course, if that's too mentally challenging for you, there's always the option of overpaying for an Apple and buying a phone with a poo poo OS like Ios.
