Nova’s coming out sooner and hits the market segment that WinMo is supposed to play in. It takes a frienemy out and would put Microsoft on a more solid footing to compete with Google/Android. While they’re at it they should just buy Yahoo! and their users and combine web with mobile to make it a race between them and Google.

Selling someone else’s OS as their own is nothing new to Gates & Co. – anyone else remember DOS? And using Linux as a base is also nothing new in software. OSX is based on UNIX and seems to work just fine. They could take this concept to the desktop and make the next OS based on Linux as well and that would solve their interoperability issues.

This will never happen. Microsoft is too proud to do it, but wouldn’t it be interesting…

MS is justifying where their product is now as part of their long term plan.

The truth is that no one planned for the iPhone to have as much success.

Not even Apple.
