Do not fear the beast. It is going to f***ing kill Google, just as Steve
Ballmer has promised with its... errr... oh, wait... 4-6% market share. Wow!

Microsoft's vision for universal mobile platform a little blurred
,----[ Quote ]
| Unfortunately for Microsoft, Windows Mobile is currently not even in the
| second runner in the smartphone operating systems race. Linux, which is
| widely used on mobile devices in China, is second to Symbian with more than
| 13% market share. Windows mobile is a distant third with about 6% share.

*sigh* Relieving to know this... Google can be among the many companies that
will knock Symbian and iPhone (Mach kernel) off their feet... Symbian has
already resorted to anti-Linux FUD tactics, by thee way... Windows is not even
seen a danger and it will continue to be an irrelevant, negligible niche that
barely grows.
