You know... since 2017 when I started getting wary of Apple due to Qualcomm, IMG and Services Strategy. I sometimes wish Microsoft are still in the Mobile race. Trying find some synergy between Desktop PC gaming, Xbox and Mobile. Surface Phone. Porting some of their work from Xbox.
But unlike Microsoft and Google. Apple has no inherent weakness in their business and strategy. They also have an extremely strong cult following both online and offline.
So unless government managed to do something about it ( which I seriously doubt ), the future will be as frustrating as it is now.
The original Zune windows app is still head and shoulders above spotify.
They had:
- great song management
- better than YouTube song discovery (looking into playlists with the same song)
- incredible ui (skins)
- small memory footprint
I wonder who worked on that team and what they are up to today.
And/or if Microsoft could open source it.
