> So did a smart guy say once about Apple.

Who ever did is either eating crow for that, or isn't as smart as he claimed.

Microsoft has been in the mobile business for a long time. They have tried to re-invent their offerings at least two times, probably more. There are a lot of OEMs with knives in their backs (e.g.: Sendo, OQO) in the wake.

That they have failed to succeed after blowing such a lead and countless investment dollars is a real organizational character failure on their part. That some in Redmond think they're still winning is even sadder.

Windows Phone is seeing decent numbers, 6 million in the last quarters. The lack of apps like YouTube and Instagram is hurting the platform and they're showing they're serious about fixing that issuee by picking a fight with Google.

So 6 million Windows Phones in a whole quarter, compared to 6 million Android phones in about 10 days... yeah, they're going great.

You don't get market share overnight when your platform has 100x less apps. On the same note devs don't want to write apps for WP because it has no market share.
