WP needs a marketing push...
You must have missed all those TV commercials for WP7. I'm not saying there were effective though, they were kind of weird, and I don't think the message was effective.
At any rate, the problem MS is facing is large. WP7 and what I've seen of Win8 is competent and competitive with iOS and Android. But it isn't dramatically better either. Apple has got a lock on "cool", and the products from Samsung and other top end Android makers offer large screens and nearly as good user experience, enough apps, and in addition they tend to be cheaper. The GNex directly from
Google is only $350 USD without a contract.
I recommend to MS that rather than fight these guys head-on, that they go after the business and enterprise markets. RIM is weakening, so the time is right. Then expand from there back into the general consumer market.
