For more than five years, Windows phone have been struggling to create a mark in the mobile world.
The heavy competition from other operating system and lack of apps support has made this effort almost nil, Extreme Tech reported.
Microsoft is now gearing up for a big change which might possibly help their survival in the mobile market. The most recent operating system Windows 10 is now coming into mobiles and it needs to be seen if this change could help Microsoft capture the mobile industry.
In most cases, it is found that developers are completely losing their interest in working with Microsoft, and most of the times, the entire phone tends to crash. One such recent scenario is the stepping back of financial manager Mint, according to The Verge.
Also, the negativity Microsoft has faced in the recent times can never be blamed to other mobile operating systems and most of the times Microsoft apps such as Skype and Office work perfectly in other devices than Microsoft phones.
But the story seems to be different this time, as Microsoft is out with their latest operating system that could help them gain back their lost position in mobile industry. Windows 10 allows users to share apps between desktop and mobile with very little effort. Also, there are lots of PC users who wish to upgrade their existing OS.
If the developers can support this change, then there are chances that Microsoft could be back in the industry once again. Windows 10 is expected to appear in mobile phones from December this year.
