Microsoft is planning to scrap its Nokia X Android efforts and replace them with Windows Phone in future. The news comes as part of today's announcement that Microsoft is cutting 18,000 jobs in the next year. In an email to former Nokia staff, Microsoft devices chief Stephen Elop details the company's renewed focus on Windows Phone. "In addition to the portfolio already planned, we plan to deliver additional lower-cost Lumia devices by shifting select future Nokia X designs and products to Windows Phone devices," says Elop. "We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products."
Microsoft is laying off more employees, a new round after they cut thousands last year. It seems like many big tech companies are doing the same.

I have always known the Nokia Android project would meet a dead end. It would be really unfair producing a direct competitor to an OS, M$ is doing all within it's power to see it succeed.
Particularly if that direct competitor started to become wildly more popular..
