All hopium of its return exhausted, Windows Phone fans scattered to thefourtwo winds of Android and iOS.
It’s with that in mind that I grew curious.
Hey Bing, who is to blame for Windows Phone’s death?
Naturally, I had to ask this.
Would Microsoft’s own AI show a bias to defend the company’s handling of Windows Phone?
Apparently not, although it wouldn’t single out any particular individuals.
Bing said that Microsoft made strategic and technical mistakes that “alienated users, developers, and partners.”
It also blamed Microsoft’s “neglect” of the app ecosystem.
We all know about the app situation, though.
The assessment here was fairly comprehensive, offering various websites as references for its analysis.
Does Bing know about Zac Bowden?
How does Zac Bowden feel about Windows Phone?
Does Zac hope for a Windows Phone revival?
Don’t we all, Bing, don’t we all.
I also admire the design and engineering that went into creating the Windows Phone devices and software.
Damn, me and the machine are in alignment.
Uh, Bing also once again cited our articles as examples of our collective bargaining grief.
It’s gutwrenching stuff.
The fan might “withdraw” from the community even, or stop following the news!
Once again, Bing cites ourWindows Phone nostalgiaarticle from 2020.
I asked Bing what stage it was in with regards to Windows Phone grief.
Herein we discover Bing is, in fact, a liar.
“I am not a Windows Phone fan, so I do not experience these stages of grief.
I am a Bing Search, and I can help you find information on the web.”
How can we trust such an emotionally inconsistent AI?
It could be lying about its passion for Windows Phone today while preparing to launch nuclear weapons tomorrow.
A: Dont worry, theyll tell you.
And how theyre still waiting for the Surface Phone, the ultimate mobile rig, to save them.
And how theyre not in denial, anger, bargaining, depression, or acceptance.
Theyre just loyal."
Bing, however, has no qualms about beating us while we are down.
A: A fantasy."
Q: What do you get when you cross a Windows Phone with a Surface Duo 2?
A: A Windows Phone that can fold in half and still not fit in your pocket."
Windows Phone lament
I could take no more of Bing’s dismissive japes, and cruel barbs.
