@Hypx Couldn't a current flagship run windows 11 without breaking a sweat? I'm sure there are some hardware architecture issues, but one has to wonder if a pocket size MS Surface with a 5G antenna isn't relatively straightforward to release.

No it wasn’t. MS was well behind at the time, and the market had settled on Google and Apple as the two mobile OS providers. The mistake would have been to keep going.

You can consider me conspiracy theorist, but for me the whole story about WP/Nokia was to destroy the biggest non US tech giant, so the remaining are all US based. No one are now even close.
