Re: I am genuinely shocked
I gave up my Winphone and lay down in front of Google's Android less than a year ago. I kept going with the Winphone because it was a nice phone to use (as well as not being Google's) and meant that my calendar was easily shared across to my desktop and PC. I kept with Outlook on my PC for the same reason. It was when things like the BBC apps stopped working, that I really needed, that I started to give in and accepted that I needed to jump ship.
I now keep my calendar in Outlook.com and Thunderbird with Lightning respectively. But that only syncs because of a third party addon for TB (TBsync). Otherwise I'd be stuffed. It's only when I found TBSync that I was fully able to make the switch.
So for MS to screw up that aspect of Winphone is to break the only part that would have kept me using it.
