Windows 8 phone will probably have the market share in due time. Nokia has already reported increasing profits and personally I cant wait to switch out my Droid 2 for one. Windows 8 on the desktop is also amazing once you step back from the blogger cloud of BS and actually use it. Having the same OS on both desktop and phone is a powerful idea which even Ubuntu developers are now beginning to realize.

- tellarin 14y agoI definitely agree that having the same OS on your phone and desktop has a lot of potential. But calling Win8 'amazing' on the desktop is a bit too much. It's about the same as Win7, with faster boot times and those kind-of-out-of-place Metro apps. On a tablet, or on a laptop with a touch screen, on the other hand, then it is not bad after you get used to it.
- ladzoppelin 14y agoIt is the GPU acceleration of the UI and font rendering in desktop mode, the Hyper V integration, lower memory footprint and security enhancements that I think make it amazing. Sorry I should of said that is just my personal opinion. Yours is just as valid.
- jackalope 14y agoI'm testing the waters with a Windows 8 phone, which I bought after unintentionally checking it out while looking for a new Android to replace my old one. I did due diligence and checked online reviews first, which unanimously recommended not buying it because there weren't enough apps and it was too heavy (Nokia Lumia 920). But I was struck by how overwhelmingly owners of the phone in the comments loved it. It's only been a few weeks, but I don't regret it. I might even consider getting a Windows 8 tablet with a keyboard case, I find the interface so intriguing.
