At least with Microsoft it’s more likely to not be a walled garden.
- al_borland 3mo agoAt least a walled garden exists. Microsoft pulls the products that don't work in the market. So either you're left with nothing, or endless migrations as they keep trying different things without traction.
- cmxch 3mo agoIf Windows Mobile* and maybe the Catapult FPGAs** are any indication, those are relatively lower walls than Apple. The still unbroken(?) Zune and Windows RT are two rare exceptions. * - from the HTC HD2 to the latter Lumias like the 1020 and 950/XL ** - buy a Quartus license and you have boatloads of small-ish DIY networkable Arria 10 GX accelerators at your disposal.
