Windows 10: Microsoft answers the question, 'Why Windows Phone?'

Brink · May 8, 2015

With no flagships announced, software that is on other platforms and a weak app store for the better part of a year, many consumers have been asking what is the value proposition of Windows Phone. Up until last week, Microsoft did not have an answer that they were publicly willing to share but now we know how the company will respond to this question going forward.

Continuum for phones, that is coming with Windows 10, is Microsoft's ace up the sleeve. The feature, which requires new hardware and will be arriving in new devices this summer, is the 'killer' feature that you can only get on Windows 10 for phones and it will not be easily replicated by any other player in the market.

What this feature allows you to do is take your phone, connect it to a keyboard, mouse and monitor and use the device like a desktop PC. This isn't a watered down experience either, because of how Universal apps are designed, you can run all of the Office apps just like you would on the desktop with most of the features being present as well. While we know this may not be a feature everyone will use on day one, it's easy to see how this functionality will one day replace your laptop.

why not just answer the question?

While I wholeheartedly applaud the concept of collective wisdom (while perhaps smacking of communism?), when I Google a question I just want it answered quickly, not have to scroll down and look at answers which may or may not be right. If this forum
could be a bit further down in the search menu, how much better it would be. I just want my question answered by a qualified professional, not have to choose someone's suggestion which may or may not be right. Also, I don't want answers which only come from
the United States, as where I live is quite different (not that I have anything against US citizens, but it's not the only country in the world). The internet sure is overrated.
