> ... why would anyone outside of the programmers' community want to replace Android with Windows on a phone?

Have you counted the number of FReepers who disdain Apple and would never get an Apple phone or tablet, but who also don't like Google and thus would prefer not to hold Android in their hand every day?

Those folks probably would be thrilled to have a real Windows computer in their hand, something Windows Phone could not quite be.

Hell, I have an iPhone that I like, and even I would be tempted to buy an Android just to have a pocket-sized copy of Windows 10.

Of course we have yet to learn what it can do in that form factor, but based on the existing Windows Phones, it might not be too bad at all.

My last phone was windows and solid as a rock. All it needs is.developer support. The universal platform Microsoft is pushing may work. Microsoft needs a deeper ecosystem.

Are there really people who don’t like Apple and Google—but like Microsoft?
