Microsoft Failures - do they need a value-added approach?
Maybe Bill Gates ought to spend more time in his own backyard.

INFORMATION WEEK REPORTS

Windows Phone 7 Released

Microsoft in October entered the smartphone fray when it debuted the much-ballyhooed Windows Phone 7 operating system, designed to compete with Apple's iPhone and Google's Android. Like rival Apple, Microsoft partnered with AT&T in an exclusive agreement, and touted the OS's ease-of-use, speed, and user-friendly interface as differentiators. Hardware vendor partners include HTC, LG, Samsung, and Dell. Microsoft has not disclosed figures, but some reports show the software giant's foray is off to a disappointing start. U.K. retailer MobilesPlease told Electronista that only 3% of its sales are coming from WP7, and Android devices are out-selling WP7 devices 15 to 1. Symbian devices are also out-selling WP7 devices, though at a 3 to 1 ratio.

3. I generally like Microsoft products
but I haven't been completely delighted with Windows Mobile 6.1 that was on the smartphone I bought in November, 2009. Quality apps are hard to come by, and the thing is as slow as dial-up used to be on a desktop machine.

4. I honestly feel sorry for anyone who would buy a "windows" phone
A sad excuse for a partially functional non-cutting edge operating system.
