Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?

Microsoft is killing off Windows Phone 8.1 support today, more than three years after the company first introduced the update. This is how it ends, not with a bang, but with a post to Microsoft's support site
