    It’s a good thing they stopped.

    Right now any phone’s UI is about 10 times faster than windows 11 is on a modern computer. Just imagine a phone that’s this slow.

      Windows may indeed perform like shit, but Windows phone didn’t. It rang rings around android big time in terms of performance.

      Windows phone was heavily stripped down.
