Should Microsoft kill Windows Phone and switch to Android?
2014-02-07 19:31:35| Extremetech
I've just had an interesting idea. What if Microsoft's new CEO, Satya Nadella, drops Windows Phone in favor of Android? This might seem crazy, given the amount of time and money that Microsoft has put into Windows Phone -- but desperate times call for desperate measures, right? Adding credence to this idea is the Nokia X (codenamed Normandy) -- a Lumia-style phone that runs Android. This mid-range phone, despite Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia, still looks like it's going to come to market this spring. Is it possible that Microsoft is waiting to see how the Nokia X does, before making a decision on the continuation of Windows Phone?
