Android Killed Windows Phone, Not Apple

I disagree with this blogger's analysis. Instead, I believe Windows Phone commited suicide. When you osbourne your platform repeatedly, change your development strategy numerous times and alienate current and potential developers you have no one to blame but yourself. So, when Windows Phone saw the end coming it decided to end its struggle and quit trying to fight the inevitable.

Heh, Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. Just got done watching a bunch of 8-bit Guy videos on the topic.

I also strongly agree. Two reboots was ridiculous in the time period that the phone was relevant.

Windows Desktop also went through these reboots, I feel the phone team had their hand forced.
