Oh please, grow a pair.? Name calling and condescending?? How do you guys come up with this thin-skinned crap?? My message is hardly condescending - it's clearly an observation of Mike's prognosticating. And not a name has been dropped.
If you'd rather not have your predictions challenged, don't post them in a public forum.? You're not going to sensor me, Matt.
Mike's assertion verbatim is that "Windows Mobile doesn't have much of a future."? And he cites an article.? Big deal; If a snapshot of market share served as a bellwether of Microsoft's impending failures, what happened with Netscape?? Novell?? IBM?? Apple?? Microsoft has waged more than two battles (Office/Windows) and devastated the competition - and not always in the first few years of a new market.
I'm not unfamiliar with the topic.? I hired Microsoft's lead lawyer against Apple as my InstantService CEO.? And I'm really not asking much by inquiring whether a Microsoft prognosticator can recite the company's business method.? It's been around for more than 3 decades.? If I cited it here, it would be the shortest sentence.? It's fundamental to analysis of the assertion made.? It's totally cool to just say you don't know it.

Canalys' latest numbers show iPhones outsold all Windows Mobile phones in the 2nd quarter of 2009. Going to his original email it says "Windows Mobile doesn't have much of a future"-- nothing I can find about whatever other tactics Microsoft may have in the future.
It's a fair question and obviously essential to understanding Microsoft well enough to go about making "dismal future" Winmo predictions. ?Can you recite the method or not?
If you want to revert to basic name-calling, you have each others' personal email addresses. Please take it off list for the sake of the rest of us.
