In the series of tweets, the VP of the company revealed that the software giant is no\u00a0no longer developing new features or hardware for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/steamos-stagnates-windows-10\/\">Windows 10<\/a> Mobile. That means we\u00a0may not\u00a0see a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/bendable-microsoft-surface-note-phone-coming-year\/\">Surface-branded phone<\/a> or more Windows 10 Mobile-powered hardware from now on. However, the corporation is still going to support the current users with bug fixes and security updates.<\/p>\n<p>Belfiore explained the decision in the following tweets. He said that\u00a0developers never really backed the platform and Microsoft could not find partners to work with. This led to the lack of applications and games on the platform&#8217;s store. Moreover, the existent apps on the store are hardly updated. All the applications seem\u00a0to outdated, unlike the versions for iOS or Android. As a matter of fact, there are not so many users having interest in the platform.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Windows-Phone-8-point-1-796x398.webp 796w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Windows-Phone-8-point-1-796x398-300x150.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Windows-Phone-8-point-1-796x398-768x384.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Windows-Phone-8-point-1-796x398.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Windows-Phone-8-point-1-796x398.jpg 796w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Windows-Phone-8-point-1-796x398-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Windows-Phone-8-point-1-796x398-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-60053 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Microsoft Windows Phone\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0focus\u00a0of Microsoft at this moment is on developing applications for iOS and Android, making these two platform work better with the company&#8217;s software.
