Pulling out has left Redmond high and dry

Intel pulling out of the mobile business has left Microsoft’s mobile dreams in trouble.

For Microsoft to succeed it needs to be able to have mobile chips which are completely compatible with Windows 10. That way it can have a device which can jump across platforms and sell itself to businesses.
Microsoft has been pitching a feature called "Continuum" as a killer app for the Windows 10 Mobile phone operating system. Basically, if you're using a Lumia 950 or 950XL flagship phone from Microsoft, Continuum lets you plug a phone into a monitor, a mouse, and a keyboard and use it kind of like a desktop PC.
