WP is an OS and Nokia produces the hardware. This will be a great system, but the really big thing is the ecosystem. Next year Nokia will start selling tablets and other mobile devices running Windows 8, they will be tied in to the same ecosystem, the same ecosystem as billions of PCs.

I see a great future for this ecosystem

Regurgitating yesterday's AAS podcast are we? If people could start thinking for themselves for a change, they would realise that this 'ecosystem' lark is simply a euphemism for locking consumers in to proprietary solutions. Nothing new here. Marketing guys and CEOs have been selling us snake oil for decades.
