  • Windows phone Os Q: Why do people still have faith in Microsoft bringing apps to windowsphone10 & giving the Os atleast some respect by being somewhat near what the competitors have to offer from Software side ,Apps in windowsphone8.1 are dead or dying backstabbed everyone on the upgrade promise,apps?
  • Question: Why did you bother coming to this site and then posting this comment? Go to a Blackberry site if you want to "kick a guy when he's down". Their market share is even less than Windows. Personally, I like the Windows mobile interface the most. I've used iOS and Android, but neither worked as well as Windows does for me. If you need the currently popular app that no one will talk about a month later, then it may not be the platform for you, but it works for me. Android's permissions aren't granular enough without rooting or installing potentially malicious third party apps, and iOS is too locked down. Windows mobile is the perfect balance between the two. If Windows mobile stops being viable for me, then I might consider Android just because the hardware is better, but I do trust iOS's security more despite recent patches.
  • Is it possible? : Instead of uploading 2 links and writing windows link and xbox link
    And simply write Microsoft store with one link as stores are unified Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • It might be, but the mobile/tablet link launches the app store with the app listing right away. I'm sure the same would happen for the Xbox link if you were on this site through the console.
  • Tapping on a game in xbox beta app opens the main store instead of in app store
  • Meh....looks kinda gay to me.
  • Meh...you need to grow up.
