Windows Mobile has cost a lot of money for Microsoft. Market share is not
indicative of profit.
Windows Mobile recently missed those forecasts from Microsoft, which is rare.
Microsoft always sets expectations low in order to beat them and impress
later. Even playing that same routine with their stock has already failed for
two consecutive quarters (the shares sank).
It's time to correct journalists who claim that Microsoft has over 90% 'market
share' on the desktop.
