I actually saw a post somewhere else suggesting that a problem playing a media file on openSUSE might be due to an intentional bug introduced by Novell on Microsoft's behalf to drive users away from Linux and into the arms of Windows 7.
Where have you been the last few years?

MS is struggling for the same reason they did with Vista, they were too arrogant to listen to their users, especially when Server 2008 was a product tailored to their user's needs but Vista is what they thought users would want.

Win7 is a good product, but rather then because of good marketing imho ppl jumped to Win 7 because Vista was just so horrible!

The thing is with the mobile market there is not really a vendor lock in terms of the OS. With PCs people mostly have to buy Windows, with mobiles they have a good range of choice all at roughly the same price (PC vs Mac, is expense).
