After what MS did with Windows Phone and the first Lumia headsets*, I think you need to be crazy to release hardware that depends on a not-yet-established MS product. They're very good at keeping their successful products backwards compatible and at least somewhat supported for years, but they can dump unproven products like led disregarding any kind of marketing push.
* Nokia's first Lumia smartphones released with an older version of Windows Phone, while MS was publically working on the Windows 8 push for a common OS across all form factors. They promised everyone in huge marketing campaigns that the Lumias would be upgradeable to the new Windows Phone 8, which all the marketing was pushing for. Fast forward two months from the release, they announce that no, they would not upgrade and you'll have to buy a whole new phone if you made the mistake of buying a first generation Lumia.
