Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, expressed regret over the company's decision to abandon the Windows Phone project.

The Windows Phone, launched in 2010, was discontinued in 2017 after struggling to compete with Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, has recently expressed regret over the company's decision to abandon the Windows Phone project. In an interview, Nadella stated that he wished the company had not given up on the mobile operating system, which was discontinued in 2017. He acknowledged that the decision to abandon the project was a difficult one, but he felt it was necessary at the time due to the competitive landscape. The Windows Phone, which was launched in 2010, struggled to gain market share against rivals Apple's iOS and Google's Android. Despite various attempts to revitalize the platform, including a partnership with Nokia, the Windows Phone was unable to secure a significant user base. Nadella's recent comments have sparked discussions about the potential of a Microsoft return to the mobile operating system market, although the CEO did not indicate any immediate plans for such a move.
