Microsoft stops support for Windows Phone 8.1

You can think of it as the end of an era but we just lost one of the major operating systems as Microsoft announced it has terminated support for Windows Phone 8.1. This version was the last iteration of Windows Phone before Microsoft made a switch to Windows 10 Mobile. Users who still use these devices will no longer get updates or technical support. Microsoft tried to bring the battle to Google and Apple but couldn’t seem to gain traction for its mobile OS. Now, we’re not sure about the future of Windows 10 Mobile either. Hopefully it doesn’t meet the same tragic fate so soon.
