The best Microsoft flops (CNET Top 5)

Many technologies have come out of Microsoft. Not all of them have been hits.

The Microsoft Spot thing blew me away. They were so ahead of their time

Who else wants Windows Phone to return? Best OS, let down by lack of third party apps.

I miss Windows Phones a lot. I just loved how the UI worked and how fluid everything was even on low end specs. When my brother and I left Verizon for T-Mobile I left my LG G2 for a Lumia 521 as a placeholder until new phones were announced (we switched right before the major announcements) and it ran more smoothly than the G2. Idk how, it just did. The app selection sucked though. True, most ones I wanted were there but there was some major gaps.

Still use my Lumia 928 since 2013. Never gave me a problem. While friends have gone through countless phones over the past 5 years, this one is still great.

I still don't know why people didn't like the Kinect. It was awesome! And the fact that Microsoft made it super easy to convert iOS and android apps to Windows Phone makes me frustrated that developers still didn't support windows phone as well. I loved the Lumia 950 and still have the Lumia 1020 which is still one of the best cameras.

They should have pressed on with the windows phone

How dare you put my phone in the thumbnail! 😂

2:26 OMG I remember seeing that old clip of Dan when I first started high school. Man I had a nostalgia overload there!!!!

I was expecting the KIN to be number 1, not windows phone

[lukeliebert]

How can I miss and yet still hate my own Windows Phone.

[nadreog]

my favorite extinct tech is the Playstation Portable great games yet the discs were easy to break.

[NaumanKhan]

BBOS and BB10, I miss it almost every day

[mikewolf]

I love the Zune. Still have he Zune HD and regular Zune. Wish devices still came with an FM tuner built in...

[AngelManuelPerez]

Zune. I still use mine daily. Also, I'm going to miss Continuum if it dies out. The way you could turn your Window's Phone into a full fledged desktop is amazing. Sure, it had bugs but those can be fixed if there's a will.

[mikewolf]

I still say the Zune was the second best product Microsoft ever made. I still have my Zune and Zune HD. Love the fact it has built in HD radio. If Microsoft didn’t kill of Windows 8 phones with the built in HD radio, I woulda gotten a Lumia instead of an iPhone.

[tamarockstar]

It’s not about who did it first it’s about who did it better. Lol

[Knightstorm]

I had a Zune and it was awesome and in my opinion far easier to work with than all the Ipods...very durable too

[mukundhbhushan]

Most of their products are much ahead of time. They might have flopped but they were pretty good ones

[seanskiub]

I wholeheartedly agree, tiles were a huge flop. I unpin them all on all my Windows 10 installs

[DoorisJ]

Have you guys seen “Windows Mobile 95”?! Just look for it on here, it’s hilarious
