    Windows Phone was never going to work, but what I would have loved to see is Google Microsoft take on Android and dominate the market. Around that time, Microsoft were putting out some legitimately good hardware, and with some sane choices they could have been in a position now where they released a phone “powered by ChatGPT” and overpowered Google in a market they have been desperate to own for years.

      Did you mean “… see is Microsoft take on Android”? It doesn’t really make sense as it is now, Google already owns Android
