I was talking about mobile phones, not games. It's superfluous to say that there are many differences, many of which do not play to MS's favor in the phone market.


And you responded to my post where i didn't mention MS throwing money at phones but throwing money in every direction they think to have problems. Maybe, just maybe, they just start to realize the importance of mobile. I think you can't compare Microsofts engagement in the mobile world in the times before WinMob7. Either they realize now to put _a lot_ of effort in it (money/resources) or they will never catch up. Whatever they invested in the years before the iPhone clearly wasn't enough.

edit: It is also said that MS offered Nokia several hundred millions of dollars multiple times to make this switch.
