Few problems with your logic.
The 1.0 incarnation is getting slagged by techno journalists because it is so heavily locked down and underacheiving, one journo called it something similiar to symbian in 2001. That isn't good when that is the kind of thing google shows up as a review.

Xbox has been a nightmare for M$
The red ring of death cost them a $billion to sort out for example.

It has been voted appalling for reliability

And M$ didn't even deny a 54% failure rate.

And lets not also forget the 'Zune' and 'Kin'. So they might push a good idea like kinect but at the cost of two other failing ideas.

And then compare the % of market for Bing (renamed three times in as many years) still third in the search markets.)

Mobile OS market share for Winmo put them at 4th, some would say 5th.

And IE9 which according to the hands on reviews. Heavily linked with windows 7, so won't work in XP And as one developer of a plug in put it. "The only status is the "won't fix" one. We'll not join Microsoft in perverting the net again." Because it is M$ standards again, not world standards and is designed to run for windows 7.

Someone from Nokia in this actually claims the N900 was a success. So if the one Meego handset is a success like the N900, you might get more. LOL
