@jame @maddiefuzz dammit making me sad all over again that of all the companies to come up with WP 8 (or Windows 8 for that matter) why'd it have to be Microsoft?
Come up with an interesting idea. I guess even MS can do that sometimes.
Screw it up a little bit. Everyone does that, no big deal.
Back away so fast they leave skidmarks when people complained. MS and Google, neck and neck for this prize.
@randomgeek @jame @maddiefuzz I liked Windows 8. It almost, almost convinced me that MS wasn't hot garbage as a company.
Boy did they soon set me straight.

I have managed to get a couple of Windows phones (three to be accurate, but I have returned the original Lumia 800 as it had poor battery life), an Xbox, a couple of Windows licenses, a couple of Office licenses… while I was still being deceived. And I wasn't even a Windows user before that 😅 In fact, I've always hated their design decisions, and especially the fonts, Windows Phone and Window 8 were different enough for me to give them a chance.

And when they have abandoned W10M it was time for me to jump ships again — I don't see the point in keeping using desktop Windows if there's no ecosystem around it.
And their idea of pairing it with Android was übercringe — Android looks too ugly after Windows 8-like interfaces 😩
