There are still around 8-10 million Windows Phone 7 users, which us surprising considering how poorly Microsoft treated them, and the large number of alternatives available.
Now it seems Microsoft is determined to alienate them further, with Microsoft’s Skype deciding serving 10 million Windows Phone users was no longer worth the trouble.
The company has already unpublished their Windows phone 7 app, and has now posted on their support site that over the next few weeks they will no longer be able to sign in to Skype’s servers.
If you have a subscription that you will no longer be able to use it and Skype suggests you may want to cancel it to avoid being billed in the future.
It is expected the move is due to Skype moving to a new architecture, and not feeling bothered enough to code a new app for a dying platform.
This attitude is of course common, but seeing it from Microsoft itself should set off alarm bells about promises for future support.
Are any of our readers affected by this move? Let us know below.
