Microsoft says it no longer working on new features and hardware for Windows 10 Mobile. This means the development of the mobile operating system has halted.
Microsoft top-dawg Joe Belfiore stated this on on Twitter. Belfiore is the vice president of the tech operator's operating system branch. According to him, Microsoft will only provide bug fixes and security updates for Windows 10 Mobile. Microsoft has not provided major updates for the mobile Windows platform for a while now, but to date, the tech giant never officially shared the info that the development was stopped.
Belfiore says he himself does not use a Windows smartphone anymore. The topman has now switched to an Android phone, which says it all really.
During a reorganization last year, the tech company already fired hundreds of people, limiting smartphone business significantly. HP, one of the last companies that still made Windows phones, said recently to discontinue the production of these phones as well.
