You're right, and that's why M$ knows they MUST make WP7 go. Mobile and cloud services are clearly the future.They will do anything, pay any price, for mobile marketshare. The billion they promised Nokia is nothing to M$ and I'm sure Ballmer is still chuckling over how friggin' cheap he got Nokia.

BUT...anyone who thinks the Windows monopoly for personal laptops/desktops will be broken in less than 10 years is dreaming. For business use make that 20 years or you're delusional. There are and will continue to be only certain tasks business users can do with a non-Windows OS device. Most business use will require - require, mind you, no choice - Windows for a very long time to come. Jeez, I can' t even get my office off XP or M$ Office yet.
