When some people will learn? DRAT! Microsoft bought Nokia's phone division not the whole Nokia! Nokia sold this division to recover from the damage it had done to it, and they have manage it in a considerable extent, to the extent that they are returing to smartphone business...

I wonder if it's coincidental, that the trouble ( steep drop in sales ) for Microsoft, started when they phased out Nokia brand from lumia...

Windows phone's strong territory , were Europe ( it was even surpassing ios quarterly, in many European markets ) and India... Like Nokia's, even when they weren't the leader as they once. were.

Imo they are just terrible compared to Android.  

 

This investment was a bad idea for Microsoft.  Another example of them being reactive to the market rather than pro active. 

They are terrible compared to Android and iOS... Which are the only two platforms out there which aren't basically dead or dying... When the platform is lacking an official youtube app, they have done goofed...

But yea, it was a mess. RIP

they had an official YouTube app, but google took it down because Windows phone allows you to save videos to your phone, and Microsoft would not budge on that feature.

Will you say that when they leave the console business too?

"Yes, deleting Xbox was best for the stock"

Apples and oranges. You should already know that if you had a clue about MS as a business. But like most here, you don't, so I can cut you some slack.

What do you mean apples and oranges?

What if Xbox turns out to be not very profitable for MS, and they decide to leave the console business (which many shareholders already demand).

Will you cheer then because the stock goes up?
