I don't have the faintest idea what you are trying to say. It sounds as if you think that sucessful companies will always be sucessful. History is littered with counter-examples, particularly in IT.

Besides, MS has done great success with Windows CE in billions of devices, and WP is only the last and most advanced version of that OS.
Oh, yeah, WINCE was a huge...um...something. But it wasn't much of a success. I would be surprised if they sell even 10 million WINCE devices per year now, in a market of billions.

I work in the embedded systems field and CE is nothing but a bad joke. Linux and VxWorks are kicking their ***. Nobody cares anymore. And now it is virtually abandoned by MS. A perfect example of MS having a hard time with new markets.
