Without consumer, creative and social apps in the Windows Store I don’t see many reasons why a consumer should buy a Windows laptop.įew people are developing Windows Desktop applications for consumers (Google Picasa is no longer being developed for Windows and I wonder how long Spotify will continue support) and even web-based HTML5 application development could decay. Now it looks like UWP will just be something for the gaming and business market. ![]() That’s where the Universal Windows Platform had its best chance to develop as consumers picked up phones and Windows tablets. ![]() The announcement by Microsoft can be interpreted in multiple ways but one thing is certain, Microsoft won’t continue developing Lumia products in the consumer and developing market sectors. I think it really is time-up for Windows in the consumer space. Standing on the sideline is Chrome OS and the Google Play Store. UWP is then left spreading awkwardly across gaming (Xbox) and business (PCs.) UWP is at risk. Does the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and, ultimately, Windows Home have a future now that Microsoft are stopping development work on consumer phones? I think there’s a domino effect about to happen over the next 24 months that will see the consumer laptop market turn away from Windows Home and I don’t see a way that anyone can stop it.
