RIP Windows 10 Mobile OS, RIP Windows Phone : Microsoft To Shut Down The Divisions –

Microsoft Corporation has been one of the most successful names in the world of business as well as technology. The company has been around for over the past 40 years and has been coming out with a large number of breathtaking innovations after innovations.  Microsoft, with the Windows 10 and the Windows 10 Mobile OS, aimed at a whole new market, and had big plans. The company was rather ambitious towards their mobile phone division.

The takeover of the Nokia Mobiles was one major step forward for Microsoft's smartphone market dreams. However, in retrospect it seems like a rather grave mistake as it has now turned out to be a bottomless pit where the company would keep throwing money with no returns in sight.

Microsoft, with their latest Windows 10 Mobile OS update, had attempted for one last time to regain some share in the markets, but the numerous delays did not help their cause, and the company has been, by now, expected to have lost out close to $12 Billion in the mobile phone markets.

The company has lost out over 50% of their market share in the last year, and today stand at just 1% of the total markets of smartphone technology. However, Microsoft has no returns in sight, and the free fall is expected to continue for an even longer period of time.

By now, the company has realized their mistake, and it is likely that they will no longer be working with the Windows 10 Mobile and the Windows Phone division any more, or at least for quite a while now. Microsoft has shuffled their priorities and have realized what needs to be more important for them.

A Microsoft rep has in fact commented on the matter, stating that "We're going to do some cool things with phones, but this year phones are an important part of our family but not the tip of the spear," Windows chief Terry Myerson told popular website, The Verge.

This clears the air that the Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile devices are not on their priority list at the moment.
