Most non-techincal users want to use windows because they know how to use
windows and can't be bothered to learn something else, there is a lot to be said
for mulmentum here. Fourtunately (or unfourtunately, depending on your point of
view), this doesn't exist much yet in the smart phone market.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

MS important customer base is enterprise systems, often with hundreds of seats.
Stuck though they are, they have to avoid the nightmare of switching over, even
to another MS OS (remember Vista). It's a de facto monopoly. New businesses,
just starting out, are a different story. MS could afford to sit back in its
rocking chair, and watch that money roll in, instead of tilting at windmills
(cartoon idea: Ballmer, on horseback, lance in hand, windmill in background,
blades labelled 'Windows Phone', 'Bing', etc). Imagine how good Windows could
be, if they stopped chasing dreams, and invested in development.
MS is like the cat, who, after finding hundreds of mice, has one in his mouth,
and one under each forepaw, and can't think of what to do next.
