    <p>You mention that you felt that the Windows Phone interface wasn’t "Loved" by enough people and the proof is that it didn’t succeed.&nbsp; I actually think that the lack of developer support (no apps) caused the platform to fail but that the Love of the interface&nbsp;is the only thing keeping it on life support for this long.&nbsp; If WP looked like IOS and Android but with no apps, no one would even remember its name by now.</p>
    <p>I think that Windows 10 Mobile will live on because the interface is so perfect for smaller form factor devices.&nbsp; Perhaps the OS will just scale.&nbsp; 6" and smaller, Win 10 Mobile UX.&nbsp; &gt;6" Win 10 classic UX.&nbsp; However, when you plug the Win 10 Mobile device into a continuum dock…BOOM!&nbsp; Full PC.</p>

      <p>Totally agree with you. I thought the same thing as he said the interface wasn’t loved. It’s the Interface that was great, the lack of apps/no marketing/slow moving development/+many other factors is why it didn’t get any traction.</p>
