This, to me, is the problem. I didn't expect Windows Phone 7 to win over Android or iPhone developers. But if you are a Microsoft developer it's hard to start developing for Android or the iPhone. Because you have to use a different language, different tools, a different environment, etc... Given that I expected Microsoft developers to jump at Windows Phone 7 because it was an easy way for them to translate their skills to a mobile platform. But as someone who knows a lot of MS developers they all seem pretty apathetic. More than anything else that makes me doubt the platform's long term future.
