Windows Phone OS = WP8 = 0.12% - perfectly understandable that the bestselling Windows Phone OS version still has a certain small number of active devices.
Windows Mobile = Windows 10 Mobile = 0.00%
++ the future of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones ++

++ the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones is discontinued, but many of them are still in action and competitive. In my opinion, the timing for their launch alongside the first versions of Windows 10 mobile has been a problem (later versions of Windows 10 mobile are more competitive). I compare the path of Microsoft Lumia phones with the path of Mercedes F1 Team. If you have perseverance, you can win, but you need to have realistic intermediary goals. You must not be number one from the start, but rather be on the field, with competitive, distinctive devices (1% market share can be achieved with the core fans of Microsoft Windows). 1% is not a small number of users & translates to even more when we focus on Windows users. So my question is for Microsoft & fans // is it possible to continue the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumias for the fans of the brand & Windows ? // ++ #theWindowsthatneversleeps +

Would like to see Win32 programs running at Windows Core OS anyway.

This isn't new news. Some years ago, some European jurisdictions moved to adopt GPL applications such as Open Office rather than be tied to the MS Office suite with its multiple licensing and security issues (as well as the associated expense). Others have moved toward the adoption of Linux OS distributions for both desktop and server environments for the same reason. Many of us have gone through the trouble of creating dual-boot laptops for the same reasons. The program to develop an affordable laptop for developing nations decided against an MS architecture for the same reasons.
But back to Lumia where this all started; the "market" will drive the future of any set of devices based on capabilities, cost, and perceived usefulness. Android and iOS both offer capable apps and relative ease of use. Some of their platforms cost more, but W10 mobile's future is being shaped by its growing irrelevance in the market especially where new hardware and associated capabilities of that hardware are concerned.

2018-10-25T01:11:56+00:00 - just wanted to say that a podium can bring the company closer to an overall ICT win & a complete Windows experience for fans (or it is better a podium, than the lack of a podium) //
++ warning signs exist : recently New Zealand has chosen a rival for education purposes instead of Windows 10 devices
& also Amazon may be the one that profits from the opportunity to be on the podium //
