RE: They are starting from 0, and considering what “single digit” % is in terms of the total number of smartphones, that could be 10s of millions.
Yeah, I guess I should not underestimate Microsoft. Every single technology they manage to dominate the past 15 years, were ones they did not pioneer.
Count them : the spreadsheet, word processors, browsers, database, windows network, etc.
The above were started by visionaries who garnered a huge market share when it first started and then eventually lost it to Microsoft.
We’ll have to wait and see with smart phones as well.
Once Google comes out with their OS, Microsoft is toast. Microsoft’s Windows 7 treats people like idiots, and that doesn’t create product loyalty.
