Tom Warren, The Verge:
Microsoft is killing off Windows Phone 8.1 support today, more than three years after the company first introduced the update. The end of support marks an end to the Windows Phone era, and the millions of devices still running the operating system.
While most have accepted that the death of Windows Phone occurred more than a year ago, AdDuplex estimates that nearly 80 percent of all Windows-powered phones are still running Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, or Windows Phone 8.1. All of these handsets are now officially unsupported, and only 20 percent of all Windows phones are running the latest Windows 10 Mobile OS.
Reminds me of a funeral parade Microsoft threw for the iPhone, back in the day. Karma, baby.
Poor Steve Balmer. I can still hear his words…
“I like our strategy…”
Life comes at you fast.
Assuming these older phones continue to be used, how much more vulnerable to exploits will they become, without support?
