copy that.
said it myself, from a technical point of view, OS (version) is not a factor for apps, thus doesn't really matter.
only:
  • m$ has a bad reputation on the mobile market
  • the sales ppl in the shop (or elsewhere, see thread title...) don't care to push it
  • apps are more likely to cost (more) b/c their are less enthusiasts out, thus less ppl inclined to make an app... just for the fun of it (& make it available online; the infrastructure simply isn't there)
most customers don't choose their new phone with their head but mostly... with their guts, or social media & all

i'm not saying wp has to fail (i take for granted it will ), simply listing reasons why...
any reason (or... sign?) it is a roaring success?
