    1. When you buy a WinMo-powered device, you’re advertising to the world “I’m stupid and like to throw away my money”. Why? Because as soon as you buy a WinMo-powered device you know it’s outdated, and in fact will never be updated.

      Meanwhile, Apple, Google, Nokia all continue to provide updates to their OSes, for all their existing devices, for free or only a nominal charge.

      With its policies Microsoft is proclaiming loudly “we want to fail in the mobile arena!”.
