Since that day, windows+windows mobile became from 90% major platform for our company shifted to 10% importance. 10% is only because of best development tools (visual studio), otherwise we don't make anymore products even for windows desktop. | |

Apple make more revenue from iPhone alone than Microsoft do in total. One obstacle is that there are very few apps for Windows phone/tablet compared with the established platforms. So they want to make it possible for anyone to create an app, in their favourite language. C#, C++, or JavaScript. | |
