++ the future of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones ++

• in the E.U. there are 20+ official languages, so it takes many years to be competitive in at least 20% of them + I like EN (US EN more) & it is my favorite ICT language ++ maybe sometimes people lack language max grades, but the spirit of the discussion is very significant ++ in that sense here is a video with Stoichkov & this can be motivating for many managers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf6qMXi5n4I //

++ for Windows fans it is important to have Windows 10 mobile & its developments, upgrades // I still remember using 20+ kg desktop systems with Windows 3, 95, 98, 2000 //

++ of course the updates vary in size, that is a fact. The consistent fine-tuning process refers in my view more on a quarterly or even semestrial basis (so you need to summarize the updates from a larger time frame) // Certainly for version 1709 there is a new services pack or feature 2, which conceals the April 2018 upgrade for Windows 10 mobile // with this upgrade it is possible for phones running this version to have fluent design.

++ Windows 10 mobile is Windows 10 in your pocket or the Windows 10, which travels with you or the Windows 10 which never sleeps (if you ask this) // with the upgrade process the native apps probably are getting better // for third party's app functionality maybe that is not the case, but certainly it is not a uniform picture in this domain //

++ the last upgrade (the 2nd in this month) for version 1607 has made unresponsive many third party apps or even Microsoft Studio games & reinstallation has been the solution for the apps still available in the Microsoft Store. //

• of course all Windows 10 mobile editions have gone through a consistent fine-tuning process //

  

I don't like to be pedantic on forums where I know that English is not everyone's first language but it's important when your meaning is unclear

• do you mean 'constant' fine tuning, as in its always being fixed rather than 'consistent' as in the fixes applied are uniformly good (or bad)?

I agree with 'constant' but wouldn't say its a good thing when most people are looking for 'it just works' rather than 'I believe it will work sooner or later' so it's not a positive other than indicating support continues for the moment.

I disagree with 'consistent' because the updates vary a great deal in content, quality and timing.

The 1709 build (10.0.15254.527) seems to be more stable and performant but still has problems and breaks some apps until they are re-installed. People will never back the brand in large numbers until the inconsistencies are eliminated and 'Joe Public' can rely on all apps working after *every* update. When you are at the Apple level people forgive these problems but to move in that direction MS need to be better.

• with some considerable probability, if the Lumias running version 1709 had launched today, then the company would have had a tremendous success. Still you can be impressed by the launching event :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es4cF0B2TYU  ++

Important? No. Large? Yes. 

He isn't in charge. He really has no say

• some encouraging history for Windows Phone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUCFSWSFStk    // (Ballmer says Microsoft probably should have done more hardware sooner ++ July 2018 ++ Ballmer still an important shareholder) // 

++ more enthusiasm has been a problem for consolidating the path of Windows Phone // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h57hUMjQd\_c //
