Flaw in Micosoft's strategy.

Microsoft's strategy for Windows 10 hinges on what it calls "Universal Windows Apps",
or "it runs the same on every platform".

Issues:
  • 1) developers have no real reason to build Universal Windows Apps.
  • 2) legacy apps run just fine, so why reinvent just for mobile devices?
  • 3) lack of win/10 adoption (so far)
  • 4) lack of Windows Phone market share
  • 5) existing successful mobile apps were never deployed on desktops, so migration is not an incitement.
  • 6) the Universal App has restrictive APIs
  • 7) the coup de gras; many successful applications are agnostic to the Windows PC.
