Microsoft is doing what Microsoft does best, wait for the innovators to create a new market, then blatantly rip the best products, then bully their way into the market.
Don’t worry, once it becomes clear if the device is a success or a flop, the boys at Redmond will start their copying machines. It will be called Microsoft Phone, but the advertorials will simply call it “Phone”. It will be unusable till version 3 or 4, but companies will buy it anyway, since the people who authorise purchases are not the people who end up using them. Oh, and the Microsoft fanboys will profit by writing software that should have been supplied with the thing in the first place in Visual Basic, making the otherwise unusable Phone marginally useful.

BlackBerry Secure?

The days of MS’ “power” are long gone. Have more than 10 people bought an Xbox in Japan? Surprise, when Ms has to compete on merits in an open market, they usually never cross the 10% market share – home networking, MSN, watches, & Zunes. They have effectively killed the Xbox as a brand name (nearly 50% will continue working … maybe).

MS is fine in the corporate enterprise market but dead as a consumer brand.

Ah ok. Thank you for responding.
