Developer shows off Windows 11 on a Lumia 950 XL phone – Computer – .Geeks

I believe MS did indeed give money to develop apps for their platform. How do you see that as contradiction?

The animations certainly didn’t make it work ‘smoothly’ in my opinion. Every little click was another fucking animation waiting. While it may not have been particularly slow, it still gave the impression.
furnish? Can’t change the style of GIANT WORDS as a menu? The gag of empty space in the whole UI is not customizable? No, you just can’t change the design. That is a design choice.
As you can see, WP generates very strong opinions. Hate it or love it. Apparently the masses who did not fall in love with it in any way were much larger. You still see that with MS trying to push the same design language in Windows 8/8.1/10/11. It is not tailored for desktop use and implemented half-baked.

Which article to read? That I linked? In 2009 it was more or less a clock, then it was expanded with a nice design that also included notifications. I know because I had it. And even that was pre-WP.
Or do you mean the part that it was a feature update from Nokia? How does that change the fact that what you call a WP innovation was simply neither new nor WP unique?

That statement about Symbian always strikes me as a strange one. What determines that separation?
Up to and including Windows Phone 8-8.1, they were far behind Symbian in terms of features. Real multi-tasking? In 2005 you could already really run an SSH client, switch to your e-mail client, look something up on the internet. Without having to reload anything. A few years later, with more resources, you could also run navigation software. An app store also existed, in addition to the ability to sideload. Multimedia was just supported.
What makes one a feature phone, the other a smartphone?

I know that the iPhone was initially met with derision, because crucial features such as copy-paste were not included. MS seemed to want to imitate it so well that they also left the feature behind, At the end of 2011 you got that update with copy-paste…
