Microsoft is carried out by the Build developer conference 2016 in San Francisco (which expires today April 1st) and as we have seen mainly focused on Windows 10. It made major announcements but did not refer to Windows Phone.
The only time he was referring to Windows Phone was a demo of Skype that run on Windows 10 Mobile and appeared for a few seconds.
H Microsoft obviously will not throw caution to the mobile this year, which confirms the head of Windows, Terry Myerson, speaking to The Verge.
The Myerson spoke candidly saying that "If you want to reach a large number of users, the Windows Phone is not the way to do it." He continued by saying that most Windows users are based on screens 9-30 inches and if you want to do innovative things, then the appropriate track is Xbox and HoloLens.
He points out that Microsoft remains committed to small screens, will come the moment that will focus there, but this time is not her core.
«We're fully committed to that 4-inch screen, there will be a time for it to be our focus, but right now it's part of the family but it's not the core of where I hope to generate developer interest over the next year . There's no lack of recognition to realize how important that form factor is, but for Microsoft with Windows and for our platform it's the wrong place for us to lead ».
It is clear that Microsoft feels the PC, the laptops and hybrid devices as an area with a better chance to succeed, which makes sense since the piece of PC has been the rule. This does not mean that gives up the Windows Phone, but it will not be in focus this year. The Myerson concluded by saying «We're going to do some cool things with phones, but this year phones are an important part of our family but not the tip of the spear».
