No. Smarthphones are not desktops. Last I checked, that's definitely not anywhere near the case. Until then, people are missing the point...

Personally I have been Microsoft free on my home kit for at least 8yrs and have never had any issues that caused me any grief, hence my support for n900/maemo.
Lucky you. I've straddled the Microsoft world as a developer, administrator, deployer and designer (network design and graphic design for web/mobile/desktop app)

To me, having Windows on a phone just seems like a complete dead end retrograde step, I cannot see why any sane person would ever want this when there are so many compelling alternatives.
Just like Android isn't full blown GPL/Linux, Windows Phone isn't full blown Windows. Kernels are important but are not the only indicator of your OS.
