++ 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 +

    So you've run out of dumb race car comparisons and are now going towards soccer ones? 

    Ballmer can say whatever he wants, in 2013. But its 2018, he's been out, Nadella is in, and Microsoft is worth more now without mobile than they ever were with it. 

    No apps, no mobile. Its that easy.

    I'm very confused now, you are comparing win 10 m to a highly skilled athlete  who plays a key forward role for his team.  however the mobile os was never a lead product and took five years to get to the state your are applauding. Any team relying on such a player would be relegated very quickly, manager sacked and new players brought forward.ballmer has gone and w10m is  retired so my confusion is: Ms scored an own goal, do you mean we should celebrate w10m as was and be nostalgic or do you really think that this discussion is goin to have an impact on the decision, it really isn't.

    • the car comparison is central, but there are inspiring examples in other domains also. The native apps are in great shape on Windows Phone, but of course the company stepped up its mobile effort with apps (with many downloads) for the rival platforms. Here we have o photo of the present CEO  +  https://www.windowslatest.com/2018/09/03/five-years-ago-today-microsoft-acquired-nokias-smartphone-business/   ++  my hope for Windows 10 mobile is based on its value, of course I know that a small voice maybe too little too late // on the other hand I am inspired by 93tid's inspiration : many professionals had built a great ship that did not avoid the iceberg, but a lone amateur built a more reliable crucial ship & Windows 10 mobile has plenty of features that has to be saved for future generations of users //

    ++ as a distant observer of the stock market, I can say that generally speaking the entire stock market has been up since the 2016 USA election, so the company is in line with the peloton (in cycling terms).

    This somehow reminds me of something like a koan:

    "What is the sound of a dead horse being flogged?"
