Is Windows Phone here to stay? Satya Nadella says 'Absolutely'

Microsoft's smartphone platform, Windows Phone, has not lived up to the expectations that the company outlined when they dropped Windows Mobile many years ago. Windows Phone, as of right now, holds roughly 4% of the smartphone markets and for a company who owns over 90% of the desktop market, the smartphone market is a sore spot in the company's portfolio.

In a recent interview, that you can view at the top of this post, Nadella reaffirms, without any hesitation, Microsoft's commitment to Windows Phone. This should not be a huge surprise considering that the company paid over 7 billion for the Nokia assets to continue building devices under its own brand.

Microsoft showed off their next generation OS for Windows Phones last month at a press event on their campus in Redmond, Washington; if you want to see what it will look like, you can check out our gallery here.
