@Revvin but Wimo was not a flop and it was put out at the business side of mobiles not the personal side of mobiles which is what the Iphone was used for at the start. Also Android is the new Wimo as if you used one you will see a lot of things are the same on them both.

I agree with you that MS lost there way but it was not when Bill left it was during Windows Vista and Office 2007 that MS started to lose its grip on the markets. This was because windows Vista was shows to be the best OS ever made and would change the way we use computer when in fact it was broken and had to be patched to hell and only started to work right once windows 7 came out. Office 2007 was not finished and MS came out and said this after they started to sell Office 2010.

But if you look at what MS are doing now in the 360, Kinect, Windows Phone 7, Windows 7/8 Server 2008/11/8 exchange 2010/8 office 2010/8 SharePoint 2010, Lync, MSN/Skype even its own AV software they are all quality bit of software which is back to the day of the Old MS. Yes Apple changed the smart phone look but this was not by something that was out of this world it was because it was simple. You press an icon it opens and app. You press the home button it colsoes the app you press another icon it opens a different app and because of this people moved from normal phones to Smart phones. MS with Windows Phone 7 have now looked at the simple side and said right lets make our phones even more simple and not like the rest on the market as the Iphone works in the same way wimo did and just like android dose but in a simple way without being able to change much wimo and android let you change everything but has a fragmented market. Windows Phone 7 is not fragmented and every phone works the same way and is limited in terms of how the UI looks but it is not an app launcher it has more info in the hubs than the apps and also live tiles which no other phone has. It also brought things like a camera button that has to be on every phone and when it is pressed in it opens the camera to take a pic so you never miss anything. It is linked to skydrive out of the box at no extra charge and now the Iphone has just added there own version of this.

I am not a MS Apple or Google fan boy I use what devices I like to use and I have had a wimo, Android, Iphone and a windows phone 7 and for me WP7 works the best and by far the most stable OS out of them all too. Out of the box it offers more than the other 3 with xbox live zune pass, office, Facebook twitter, skydrive and more.

I know it is not for everyone but to say MS have lost it is not true they were losing it but now have the software and hardware partners to start taking on Apple and Google in phone, tablet and pc market and with MS android and IOS all having a single UI between them it will help people move from one device to another without having to be stuck on how to carry out the same tasks.

The one thing MS have not got which apple do is the cool look but MS are not really a hardware designer where Apple are but with Nokia and Samsung on board with MS for there tablets and phones they will have the designs they will need to have a cool look like apple do and by 2015 MS will have a big chunk of the Mobile market I don't think they will lead it I think it will be android that dose this but seeing what MS and Nokia are doing they are looking at the right markets at the moment and they will be taking on Apple for 2nd place.
