Just face the truth that WINDOWS 8 and beyond is the most stable mobile OS - and remember you have to buy a new WINDOWS phone when the 8 system arrives!!

Anonymous, 08 Jun 2012That's NONSENSE. Pardon me, but Windows Phone is a shit ... moreYou're right! While I like the screen resolution limit so all apps are compatible, I find other WP7 limitations (like no microSD, no 1080p recording, no Flash, no USB mass storage mode) ridiculous.

That's NONSENSE.
Pardon me, but Windows Phone is a shit operating system, if anything Android comes much much closer to what "computer in a phone" really means.
Windows Phone needs to be redone from scratch and come without so many Apple-esque limitations if it wants to be the best mobile operating system.

Keep dreaming... They thought Google would not release a new Android version by the time they "overtake" it.
Besides, Android phones are available for every budget, not like WP and iOS.

Yeah right. LOL. Wp will dominate by that much??? haha sure. Plus We always have Tizen about to be on the rise. And as many believe Nokia may still have some trick up their sleeves. And for all we know The Vita's OS (through many updates) could become popular. Will Windows Mobile grow? Without a doubt. Surpassing by such amounts on the other hand is not happening.

It won't until it still will be so damn closed and limited. Nokia always used opened OS. Nor Symbian, neither Maemo/MeeGo had any bigger limitations. Unfortunately in case of WP 7 Nokia hasn't anything to say. Any done change is preinstalled Nokia Maps and Nokia music player...

MS is doing a great job maybe wp 7.5 doesn't have the best performance but it is a compiling OS and MS is doing the right move by integrating all its product with a one unified UI, not only that but un the furutre they all will be able to run the same apps
that would be a huge advantage especially if you buy something and be able to use it on every other device you have.
I don't see how this research could go wrong, maybe wp will have a bigger share

How much did ms pay IDC to publish an obvious biased report like this? Anyone with the slightest consciousness would never bet their money on wp to survive, let alone take over ios ... Just ridiculous
