MS can't code themselves out of a cardboard box. In 2009 WM had 12% market share in the smartphone segment. In 2010 they had 3% of which WP7 had a whopping 1.5%. Christ, WP7 doesn't even have support for multitasking and dualcores WTF!

But the WM7 "horse" has a blood lineage tracing back to donkeys such as WM6.5, 6.1, 6.0, 5.1 that was fully neglected for too many years and Microsoft did sweet F all to maintain it (still running on Pocket IE4/6!!).
