Could it be said that perhaps the reason why "People who use WP like WP" might exactly be because "it still ain't selling much" and those few folks were the very few who WANTED something like a Windows Phone while most people really don't like them and avoided them? To claim that people who HAVE something liked that thing they got isn't equivalent to something being good enough to sway people into buying into it. Haters gonna hate... but man, there seems to be a LOT of haters out there--in fact, going by the numbers, a majority of people seem to prefer anything else.


Singh, you're talking about people who have thus far proven to be ineffective. For all the people that were let go from Palm (which didn't do well all-around, thanks to their business culture and decisions, much like Microsoft, despite technical capability) and Google (who are doing just fine despite the very, very few who've left for Microsoft). This will be interesting to watch, though, but I just can't see Microsoft crawling its way back up from this deep pit that seems to only get deeper each year with no slowing down. Again, I refer back to the posting I made a few days ago with the market-share graph.


Windows Mobile has been around for years, too. And Windows Phone 7 has had about a year and a half to WOW us all. So far--not so much. The market share has been SINKING, not growing. How long did it take Apple and Android to start showing CLIMBING numbers? Oh right--IMMEDIATELY. :P


I just see Balmer's mind straining to TRY to use the force to strangle Elop where he stands.
