Which, naturally, is why they're promptly killing off their smartphone business.

Fully aware of that. It doesn't change my opinion in any way whatsoever, that a Windows phone is technically better and more secure than an Android phone. But when a computing generation prefers Gnome over Fvwm, and a phone generation couldn't care less about security as long as they have their games and apps, what can you do?

(They also sold the feature phone business they bought from Nokia to a private equity firm last year.)

Nokia, which was first destroyed and then bought by microsoft, has recently started a huge (at least in Finland) advertising campaign: "Nokia is now Android" (after having been windows for a while).

I have no idea why Microsoft would sink so much time and money into a mobile platform only to kill it off because it hasn't overtaken Android in market share in under two years. This is what, the third time they've done this in ten years?
