Microsoft has officially stopped support for Windows Phone
Source:
The fact that Microsoft is going to bury their mobile operating system, became known for a long time. The time has come when the era of the Windows Phone OS has officially come to an end. Smartphone owners under its management should not worry that their devices will turn into bricks. But from now on, they will not receive any software updates and technical support.
Windows Phone 7 debuted in 2010 as Microsoft's response to system-competitors in the face of iOS and Android. This release was supposed to prove to the world that the leadership of the company listens attentively to the wishes of users and offer them all the best not only on desktop computers but also via mobile devices. WP was primarily targeted at home users, not business market segment. But in the end the operating system is not saved.
Update 8.1 in 2014 and brought in OSes many amenities and exciting features. Yes, but there's one little "but": the smartphones running WP 7, this OS is not supported. Microsoft fans had to buy a new device. Many users completely disappointed in such a policy and turned away from the producer in favor of the more friendly iOS and Android. Did not save the situation even cooperation with the company , and its partial absorption in the future.
Anyway, Microsoft does not intend to leave the mobile market. It is not far off release of Windows 10 Mobile, which should harmoniously complement the ecosystem of the Corporation from Redmond.
