Here Maps Drops Support for Windows Phone and Windows 10

Despite all the noise and the company's official web message, Microsoft Corp (MSFT) has announced that the company is still accepting payments through digital cash.

Here was bought by Audi, BMW, and Daimler late in 2015, and it seems as though the consortium of companies have no interest in supporting an operating system with an estimated market share of 1.1 percent. The last update for Spotify users on the Windows 10 devices came in the month of February.

That business decision will take effect on March 29th, 2016, at which point the HERE app will no longer be available for download by those using Windows 10 smartphones.

The client service rep who released the initial statement that Spotify was abandoning Windows Phone was "misinformed" and that the previous statement is not true or accurate in any nature. Now it appeared that Microsoft wasn't actually giving Windows users that opportunity to opt out, or at least delay the automatic upgrade.

Microsoft have now deleted the page that said: "You can no longer redeem Bitcoin into your Microsoft account".

Microsoft has been consistently delaying the arrival of Windows 10 Mobile update.

Another app spotyed in Windows Store was Facebook Messenger beta for Windows 10. Bitcoins are huge and have massive value per unit, so it could be that the slightly complicated manner of Bitcoin transactions made it an unpopular solution for Microsoft fans and Windows users.

For companies like Here, which makes a mapping app that's really only useful on smartphones in the first place, there's not a whole lot of incentive to make a cross-platform Windows 10 app.

Microsoft has now clarified to us that nothing has changed. Windows 10 version might get the updates but the company did not make it clear that if the Windows 10 is also out of support or not. This was also the maximum spending cap, so you wouldn't be picking up a Surface tablet or a Xbox One using Bitcoin as the y would be too expensive.
