    Windows Phone 7 is dying before it is even released

    Toshiba, HP and Sony Ericsson recently abandoned the failing OS.

    Windows 7 could have an ace up its sleeve

    Windows 7 Mobile is lamentably late and what's shipping is crippled by time constraints. Thus you can't even cut & paste in version 1. Or multitask. These limitations are as lame in Windows 7 Mobile as they were in the iPhone. Microsoft's decision to gut the UI also means that it lacks many of the features that would sell it to businesses, and probably some that would sell it to consumers are going to have to wait for future iterations.

    Where Windows 7 could succeed is if they play to their strengths. I think it has the potential to be the best mobile gaming platform for phones for example. Certainly much better than Android and probably better than the iPhone too. This isn't because the phone hardware is better, but by supplying high quality SDKs for development with integrated XBL support.
