Hear, hear. This is just one man's opinion, but Windows Phone 8 turned out to be a shockingly good mobile OS, the terrible market share of which is a combination of being late to the game and being a Microsoft product. It's a little sad that Microsoft's bad/monopolistic reputation of 10-15 years ago still hurts the products it releases today.

Altogether Windows Phone 8 is pretty phenomenal. The UI is head and shoulders above Android and iOS, and the perfect lockstep integration with C#/Visual Studio is a pleasure for development.
