"Steven Sinofsky -- president of the Windows and Windows Live groups -- is making a play for the entire mobile division as well in an attempt to bring a unified, Windows-centric product line to market"
Because that's why Windows Mobile has been shedding market share - it's not been "Windows centric" enough.
I wonder how many painful years it will take before companies figure out that people don't want a Windows-family, or Apple-family, or Google-family set of devices or services. Personally, I just want to be able to pick the devices, websites and services I want and have them operate reasonably well together.
That is why Android is so appealing to me. Or it would be if only they had decent media playing/syncing, which is the one thing the "device families" actually seem to do well :/
- awa 16y agoIt would be interesting to see if Sinofsky does pick up Windows mobile, he has been attributed in large part with success of Office 2007 and was pulled to do Windows 7 after the Vista fiasco, so he has 2 good back to back performances. Many believe he is the current natural successor to Ballmer but don't quote me on that.
