Mine works with little glitches, but it supports so little apps. My simple low end Samsung luna pro is an incredible device compared to the windows phone. And in any case, what do they have, .0005% market share. They create a one concept OS meant to work on all devices meaning really that it is especially capable/designed for small form factor... but then completely botch the small form mobile phone market.. the most important mobile devices there are. I think the "we were late to the party" is just an excuse. Anyway, rip windows phone.
Yeah, they could have just tried to redesign the UI or something...not ditch Windows Phone completely. Overall the mobile OS runs very well. And there is certainly nothing wrong with the hardware. It also takes a lot of time to get strong and big chunk of the mobile market share when there are strong competitors.
Hi Kipper, yes I used Picture it a lot when I used to use another program that should be on the list, Microsoft Front Page. I still have Picture it Express 7.0 but it won't install on an X64 system. Front Page won't install either, but Microsoft Image Composer still will. That's another missing program.
I used Front Page. Also the Windows essentials live stuff and that email program - windows live mail - which was my favorite. Then they put a ridiculously unintuitive ribbon style menu, broke some things and never fixed them and then... then I found Thunderbird. I do like that the email notifications in Win 10 work well.

A favourite of mine, I still use it to this day (works fine in 10). This Wikipedia article includes, under References, a link to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine which has a copy you can download.

Forgot it's name now but I'm missing one GPS App that was in W8 on my Lumia 640 until they killed it for W10. MS Maps is not very accurate and with less features.
