All these rumors played a part in
damaging the platform market share as users jumped the ship to Android
or iOS reckoning there won’t be any future with Windows 10 Mobile.
Luckily, a new email has surfaced
from Terry Myerson, Executive Vice President of the Windows and Devices
Group, to company execs and partners explaining the future plans for the
mobile platform.
Myerson said, “I understand that you are hearing concerns from certain partners about Microsoft’s commitment to the mobile space. Let me be very clear: We are committed to deliver Windows 10 on mobile devices with small screen running ARM processors”
There aren’t any details on how the
company plans to take the Windows 10 Mobile further but the vice
president stresses “business customers” as a potential key focus for the
platform.
“We are currently in development of our next generation products and I wanted to reconfirm our commitment to Windows 10 Mobile. We believe in this product’s value to business customers and it is our intention to support the Windows 10 Mobile platform for many years. We have a device roadmap to support that from Microsoft as well as our OEM partners who will also be selling an expanded lineup of phone devices based on this platform,” he added.
This news comes along the new rumors for
Surface Phone which is aimed at business customers who value
productivity and security over all other things. The smartphone is
expected to launch in April 2017, and falls in line with earlier
statements of Microsoft employees stating “cool things” planned for next
year.
Overall, it’s good to see that Microsoft
has come out in open to stress their mobile commitment and create a
sense of assurance among its loyal fans.
