++ 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 +

Break them up for what? As much as I am for less Corporate influence, there is simply no reason to break them up. If Microsoft wasn't broken up in the 90's, there is no way these companies will be.
Ios is trash as a viable solution for Microsoft. Good luck convincing Tim Cook to allow a launcher.
- even Ballmer uses the US market leader's phone, but that does not mean that Windows Mobile devices are not fully functional ++ additionally, they are offering a great Windows experience ++ Microsoft Mobile is on the rival platforms to fulfil its mission statement & to make profit ++ personally I hope that Windows (10) mobile will emerge as a winner from this "Age of extinction" (there is a way to make profit with Windows Mobile handsets, because they were many times out of stock & so the demand was there, but advertising & distribution were not among the strengths):

++ I think Microsoft Launcher can be launched only on the Android platform (the question is if the launcher will really launch Microsoft Mobile) & as for the company break-ups, I think that is far more important to prevent abuse, than breaking up these companies (simply because in time others will grow in their place & then what do you do : break up those too? )
This is getting a little off topic but yea break those up too. Ten years from now I don't want my only smartphone choices to be just different versions of android. As much as I hate the ui of macos and ios, google is just plain evil. Also amazon is one of the biggest reasons so many stores are closing, which makes more people buying from Amazon, making it even bigger.
Microsoft killed windows mobile.
lack of app support really didn't help, and google was part of that problem. I know there were other things that killed it off but with all the talk of "Warren's plan to break up Facebook, Amazon and Google" which has both Democrats and Republicans, including Trump, agreeing on it, in addition to some anti-trust cases against these companies, android could be in trouble. Microsoft should abandon android and chrome OS completely if this actually happens, and support ios more instead.
heck, I'll put my older one up against any windows 10 laptop. I think it was about 325
