I've had windows phone for the last 4 years , and I wont be leaving any time soon.

You guys should really get your facts straight before you start splurting nonsense...

Windows mobile isn't going anywhere , they have to have it for universal apps to make sense.

Also if you read the memo, it stated that they're are going to going after the business sector where they have had moderate success.

So essentially retrenching on the consumer market, focusing on the business market.

Get the software where it needs to be over the next 12-18 months and then come out with (probably) the Surface phone..bare in mind any hardware which panos panay has overseen has pretty much been gold for them.

Also Microsoft is now just concentrating on premium phones (hardware) and then hopefully let other OEMs fill in the gaps.essentially the exact same plan they had with Surface.Remember when Tim Cook said having a tablet with a keyboard was like trying to mix a fridge and a toaster (something like that anyway)....well look at their lasted ipad now.

This isn't Microsoft pulling out of the mobile business, its a streamlining .

A change of plans as things obviously haven't worked out great for them.
