I am making a whole video about why live tiles were kind of doomed to fail, but then every shot looks so pretty especially with those 3D prints that I feel bad for badmouthing it, haha
@Techaltar I miss windows phone so much. I still can't understand why they failed so hard. In theory, Microsoft had such a good leverage over Apple and Google, at so many angles - there WAS space for a third ecosystem.
it came way too late & could never catch up on features & apps
the biggest power plays (UWP apps, continuum, etc. that really leveraged Windows on the desktop) came too late. If W8 and WP8 had shared apps, it might have been different! By W10 the phone project was dying and so was touch on
MS charged brands money when Android was free
it was too different. We techies love a new paradigm & are happy to experiment, but normal users don't
@Techaltar@kbielnik Good points! I also think the general opinion was more positive towards Google back then. Why the take risk to give one more chance to Microsoft when Android was already good enough and relatively open
