>So the above is my opinion based on years of painful experiences dealing with clunky Windows embedded devices Windows Phone and Windows Mobile are different from Windows embedded devices. WM sucked while WP is much much better. >Ultimately, the market will decide if customers will put up with a WIN CE device and right now, it's not looking good for Microsoft. I guess Linux failing on the desktop means it is clunky and painful to use and thus is not looking good? Not to mention that OS X share of desktop is less than WP's share of the phone market. Marketshare is not the whole picture. And that's not even counting WebOS devices like the Pre and Touchpad, which totally failed even with the "Linux's superior network stack, memory management, multi-core CPU handling, etc" of the kernel it used.
