Once Microsoft officially owns Nokia's phone business, the Redmond company just might find more reasons to keep than 'Kin' Nokia's new line of Android phones.



From All About Microsoft:

On February 24, Nokia did what many company watchers and developers thought it never would or could do: Introduce an Android-based phone family. Many of these same folks are now predicting that as soon as Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia officially closes, Microsoft will kill these devices faster than anyone can say "Kin."

I think Microsoft will do nothing of the sort, as I've predicted before.

While many Windows Phone developers were justifiably worried about the muddling of messages that would be created by Microsoft/Nokia supporting the arch enemy of the Windows Phone OS, Android, there are a couple reasons Microsoft may decide to keep the X family alive.
