Isn't Window Phone dead? Last December it's word wide market share was just 0.1% (the same as Blackberry), down from 1.3% twelve months before (Dec 2015). Also the most recent Win10PhoneOS release only runs on merly 12 supported devices.

Globally maybe. There are still some markets where it's fairly popular. That being said, I fear that those won't be enough to keep supporting it for MS. While they haven't exactly announced anything, they might very well end Windows 10 Mobile in the near future.

Can Microsoft afford to let the mobile market go? Building mobile for others means you're a sharecropper and not the landholder...Microsoft has been the biggest landholder for decades. Do they know how to compete without owning the playing field?
