Leaving the Apple ecosystem behind

As a Mac guy I thought that the Windows Phone wasn't a bad device. My buddy had one and it had all sorts of great features but they all worked within the Windows/x-Box universe he was in.

I would have liked to see it succeed if only for there to be more competition.

It also had a great 'copy and paste' feature

Yep the phones were actually in terms of OS and hardware equal or better than iOS/Android. However even back then, the app ecosystem hurdle was already insurmountable.

This just proves it’s even harder. Even if by some insane luck you manage to build something that is very good, the general public still doesn’t want it.
