This is after Microsoft announced the device in its retail stores earlier this year, and it includes apps like Office, OneDrive, Cortana, and Outlook. Any Android phone also supports these apps, but Microsoft’s customized S8 does suggest the company might continue to offer this for other Android.

The move comes at a time when Microsoft announced in July that it was killing off Windows Phone 8.1 more than three years after the company first introduced the update.

The end of support by Microsoft marked an end to the Windows Phone era, and the millions of devices still running the operating system. Mobile OS.

Windows Phone 8.1 was a big update to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 operating system, and included the company’s Cortana digital assistant, a new notification center, UI changes, and updates to the core mobile OS.

It marked one of Microsoft’s biggest efforts with its Windows Phone work, but still Windows Operating System wasn’t successful at competing with Android and iOS.

According to a report released by Gartner in February 2017, about  99.6 percent of all new smartphones now run Android or iOS and in May 2017 IDC reported that in the first quarter of 2017, Windows Phones’ market share was 0.1% making it quite hard for Microsoft survive the market with its Lumia-branded hardware as a result.

In the same interview Gates noted that he still uses window based PCs. Despite their rivalry, Gates praised late Apple Founder Steve Jobs for the good job that Apple continues to do but still not switching over to an iPhone.
