It doesn't appear that Windows Phone 7 has attracted anyone before, why now? Even better question: if it doesn't inspire such an unlikely switch in focus to Windows Phone 7, where would it be more likely to be focused? Is MeeGo good enough for such an attraction? WebOS? Something else?

Here's what I think is more likely: nothing changes. Do you people think that Google's promise of continued support and openness provide enough incentive, given past performance and history, combined with Google's recently stated interest to use the newly acquired plethora of patents to protect the Android platform as promised?
