The apparently complete lack of urgency on improving and updating the platform is the most mystifying thing about the WP7 initiative at MS. They arrive to the market incredibly late, with a platform which is feature-incomplete at launch compared to the mature platforms which dominate the market already, and then they sit around and do nothing for a year while everyone ignores them. I mean, does MS have anything resembling a panic button which somebody can push? What is the POINT of having a smartphone platform at this point, if they aren't willing to try to succeed with it?
Everything about MS screams slow, lazy, and decaying monopolist. This is fine with Windows and Office where their dominance will go eternally unchallenged, but the MS which competed fiercely to enter a new market with Xbox seems to be completely extinct. Does MS know that they are getting their asses handed to them by iOS and Android? Do they even care, since employees at MS are just shuffled from one position to another when projects are canned? Nobody at MS seems motivated to compete anymore, they'll just kill a project like Zune or Kin and move on to the next failure, forever shielded by the cushy profit stream of Windows and Office.
