Posted by samzenpus on from the for-sure-this-time dept.

jfruh (300774) writes At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, handset manufacturers are making all the right noises about support for Windows 10, which will run on both ARM- and Intel-based phones and provide an experience very much like the desktop.

    They can join BlackBerry in the "any day now, we'll be on top!" movement.

    The difference between microsoft and blackberry is:

    Microsoft is hoping for a better tomorrow

    Blackberry is still hoping yesterday will get better.
