Microsoft is going in the future, the less information about users when updates for Windows Phone receive. Also not all devices of important bug fixes be provided, as the software maker known.
On the Windows Phone blog from Microsoft hint Eric Hautula, one of the members of the senior management of Microsoft for a ‘consumer experience’, indicate that it is no longer possible by the growth of the mobile operating system.
It seems more likely that providers like have pushed the update policy is less transparent: while the last update in the autumn of last year it was on a update sacred site clear which of the providers there for the longest time took for the update to take effect. Providers must complete the update to test and approve it before he can be executed. The time it takes varies per provider and per country.
Especially devices that are by a provider of firmware are provided, to get probably their updates now or later. So, T-Mobile in Europe, in some countries, the devices from that of ‘branding’ feature. In the United States have providers a lot more power and is virtually any device with branding.
Users are not happy with this step of Microsoft, as it turns out in the comments under the blog. Users and developers convert their words with quotes like “this is an insanely bad decision’, ‘Windows Phone = Android?” and ” monumental disaster, this is the end of Windows Phone. Bye’. Microsoft distinguished itself in recent years of Android updates for all devices, and within a few weeks to a few months to roll out.
