I have often wondered why MS hasn't been able to grab a significant chunk of the smartphone market by courting enterprise. Most people don't care about all the apps that are available to Android and Apple on their work phones and you would think being able to run the same operating system across all of your companies PCs and smartphones would be a major draw.

I haven't ever seen a large business talk about switching their carrier to get a specific phone, though I guess it happens sometimes, somewhere.

A lot of enterprise apps are archaic (over 10+ years), desktop only and used by only a few hundred to a few thousand users. There's very little incentive to remake a desktop app into a mobile app so using the desktop version on a Windows phone doesn't make sense.
