Even alot of marketing will lead to W8 being a loss maker due to the complete shift in user experience which the masses won't be able to adapt to...WP8 is another matter as phones sell due to hardware and software integration but PCs sell for usability and W7 beats W8 on that count.

Even touch scren laptops are not easier to use than W7 as you've to continuously move your hand to the screen which gets tiring and irritating...

There is also the Vivaldi project, which is a tablet, not a mobile phone though.

Considering recent events I would say there is a far better chance of an independent group (like Goldelico or the Vivaldi project) releasing the "next" open Linux phone than any of the big established phone companies.
THAT damn Vivaldi will never get released. I am on the list since january. To much talk...

I am sure its NOT the HW team that is fired.

I see it as my task to educate people, and teach them why they shouldn't buy WP.

As such I've noticed that many people think WP supports multitasking. It does not. It only support task switching: background tasks are suspended and disconnected. Even their own Skype app is thrown offline. Also, bluetooth-support is laughable. No sideloading. Many things require using "the cloud", which all its privacy and reliability issues.
