Joe Belfiore promises more news on the future of Windows Phone and Office for Windows Phone by Chinese New Year



Posting on Chinese microblogging site Weibo Vice President Windows Joe Belfiore has tweeted a message in which he promised more information soon for Windows Phone fans.
He writes:
“First, as we end our 2014, I want to acknowledge the comments and letters you all have sent, nothing that you’ve been frustrated seeing Microsoft launch new applications like Office on iOS and Android, without accompanying news around what will happen on Windows Phone.”
“I want you assure you that our Office team have nor forgotten Windows Phone- We’ve just aligned all of our news and announcements to a single event.  You’ll hear much more about what we have planned before Chinese New Year.”
Chinese New Year is the 19th February, suggesting we will be hearing more on the upcoming 21st January event.
Joe Belfiore also promised to show off more Chinese-specific Windows Phone features in the coming months.
Do our readers think Microsoft could have avoided a lot of criticism by being more open about their plans earlier?
