I’m writing to let you know that we will end our investment in Unity8, the phone and convergence shell.

That's excellent. The whole 'convergence' idea, that you could have a single user interaction paradigm which would be optimal on multiple 24"+ screens as well as on a single 5" screen, was a stupid-ass idea from the start.

Being able to run applications on a phone or desktop computer? Not so stupid. Being able to run a traditional desktop environment on a phone? Also not so stupid. Same interface form factor on both? What the fuck are you smoking. It's like saying that vehicles should all have similar interfaces, and trying to come up with a way to lace Boeing 747s onto your feet like rollerskates.
