I&amp;#x27;ve played with Windows Phone a few times and it felt buttery smooth (even my Nexus 6P it still pauses occasionally; granted the pausing on Android gets less and less with each version but I&amp;#x27;m still a tiny bit disappointed it still pauses unlike my past iPhones and Windows phone). Their idea for a unified OS across devices is an awesome goal as well. It&amp;#x27;s really cool to see the latest Windows Phones and watch them plug into a keyboard, mouse and monitor and bam you have the FULL version of Microsoft Office apps and a Windows 10 like desktop.&lt;p&gt;But in today&amp;#x27;s market you have to have the apps to succeed. They never really got the apps. It&amp;#x27;s really disappointing in my opinion.</text></comment>
