I assume the point of posting this is how wrong Haskin turned out to be? Microsoft's attempt to make Windows Mobile/CE run just like Windows, only smaller, was why it failed. It was always awkward to use. However, they beat Palm OS, and I think that was Microsoft's downfall, in the end. They assumed that they beat Palm because Palm wasn't Windows, and therefore they couldn't hope to beat the Windows juggernaut. This was shown to be a fallacy when they lost to iOS. Palm lost because Palm was mismanaged. Now, facing real competition from a true mobile platform, Microsoft realized that the Windows model could not scale down unless it was the only option the consumer had. Necessity being the mother of invention, Windows Phone 7 is the result. Now, if Microsoft has truly seen the light, it would show in their tablet strategy. So far, I see only the same old song-and-dance: "The OS for the tablet is Windows 7." It is clear that the mentality has not changed, and this is the reason I don't think WP7 has a chance either. The management still doesn't understand that the market has changed.
