The comments about Microsoft are absolutely true. As an XP Pro user, I know from experience. And you suddenly could not use the very well laid out, functional, and blind friendly version of Skype, known as GW Connect, from GW Micro. They made everyone aware that the program would not work on a Friday afternoon, and by Monday, it would not.

That was then, and this is now.

Microsoft's WP8.1 works on MobilePhones such as WP8 MobilePhones,
which were released 2 Years ago, and are still scheduled to receive
more updates such as WP8.1 UpDate 1 and so forth. So I suggest you
Stop Trashing other Mobile PlatForms in an effort to stray the
conversation away from its primary purpose, which is Apple's iOS8
doesn't appear to support the MobileDevices it stated it would give
or take a couple of features such as Apple's iOS8 ApplePay.

Fragmentation IS rearing its head IN Apple's Garden. It's NOT
exclusive to Google's Android anymore. Is it? If I'm wrong, someone
(Apple FanBoys), please correct me. I'm NOT against Apple or any
other Mobile Platform. I'm for accessibility IN all Mobile Platforms
(Apple's iOS, Microsoft's Windows (WP), & Google's Android)

Works with iOS 8 with limitations. Apple does their best to support older hardware, and does a better job than Google and Microsoft. Good luck getting the latest version "of Android working on a four year old Android phone. I also used to have similar problems getting new versions of Windows working on four year old computers.

The fact is, technology is always changing. Moore's Law states that device power will double every 18 months. So, a four year old device, such as an iPhone 4S, is the great grandfather to the iphone 6 (three generations ago).
