Why are you only close to giving up? Is this windows phone thing a significant platform? http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2010/12/07/microsoft-doesnt-expect-windows-phone-7-sales-to-catch-up-to-ios-or-android-any-time-soon/ http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2010/12/07/microsoft-doesnt-expe... Mossberg asked: “So.. how long before you’re back into the market… back up to a good marketshare, up there with Android and Apple?” “I don’t know..” “Couple months?” “Longer than that.” “Couple years?” “Maybe.” Isn't it time to stop developing for OS/2?

    Where's the marketing speak there? That seems to be an internal joke for the team after their hard work over 2 years for meeting the deadline of the 2010 holiday season and to "rally the troops".
