Microsoft already have huge developer mindshare. All they have to do is get developers that already use their platforms to use yet another of their platforms.
- superjared 16y agoThis is especially true since you develop for WP7 on proven and well-known technologies (.Net-ish, C#, XNA). A great many developers are already intimately familiar with these and will have little or no barrier of entry with WP7.

If I'm going to develop a mobile application I'm going to start with the platforms with the greatest reach. Android, iOS, Blackberry, etc.
