Well, Windows Phone may be on the way out but the improved version is just around the corner from what I hear and it will be akin to full blown Windows 10 running on an ARM chip. If MS can do that then to all intents and purposes the opposition may as well pack up and go home as one will really have the option of having a computer in one's phone.

 

The only issue will be cost...they are apparently targeting the business user base rather than the consumer market...but hopefully once they have that they will expand the reach of that new version.
