The reason is simple since they’d want the Microsoft users to experience both the smartphone and operating system together. Sources close to the company claim that the Windows 10 is almost ready and can be launched anytime soon.

At this point of time, Microsoft needs to understand that the competition is extremely crucial and to actually make a mark, the company needs to come up with the major breakthrough.
