Yeah, I used a windows phone for 18 months. There were some fantastic ideas in there and when it worked well it felt like the right way to do things BUT: in practice It was a mixed bag, where the back button would take you at any given moment was a mystery (last app? Last state within current app? Something in between?) and other components also had the feeling of being overloaded in terms of possible meanings. I get the impression that they lacked clear guidelines around usage, not an issue when components look different but when everything has the stamp of official OS look and feel divergent behaviour undermines trust in the whole system.
