Their biggest problem is that they dont TALK enough. They need saturation advertising on TV and MAJOR mainstream sites.
They simply never needed to engage in PR with WM because it was never meant to be a consumer OS, so advertising in business trade publications was more than enough.
No more of that. They need to be on offense, and they need to learn from Motorola and Verizon as to how to get major buzz going for a phone in a media with too many Apple-worshiping "journalists".
@perceptrons besides an overhaul of the UI, the one thing I want from WM7 is a better media playing experience. I'd like to see it hook into the media streaming feature of Windows 7 as well.
@LAY I understand where your coming from, but actually talk is cheap, especially in the case of Microsoft. They are letting the competition take the heat and set the stage, and you know it's smart as hell. When your perceived as being on the bottom where else is there to go, but up if they truly put the innovation that they are capable of to work and learn a little from Google and Apple, when it comes to aesthetic prowess, they will have a killer product on their hands. Seriously, Microsoft still owns the corporate world, now mix that with the Socialites,hipsters, and techies and what you have is a revolutionary product. They can do it, I think everyone has truly forgotten who we are talking about. Have they made mistakes, yes and big ones, but most people will forgive them if they come with something great, believe it.
I've seen plenty of 'Windows Phone' ads, thank you. I own one, and trust me, they need to work on the software - not PR. Here's to hoping for a better WM7 than 6.5...
Dude you complain about an Apple bias in the world in every one of your post, what does this topic have to do with Apple. You need some therapy to deal with your obsession, it seems Apple is eating you alive.
@LAY So according to you, even though WinMo was supposedy never meant to be a consumer OS, WinMo's biggest problem is lack of proper marketing? Ahahaha
how about MS actually fixing WinMo's rotten, 10+ year legacy API frameworks and updating that ancient CE kernel instead of letting HTC throw more lipstick on that hideous GUI. No amount of Tegra or high/rez OLED hardware is going to make up for those severe deficiencies.
Are you one of the frew who still believe the iPhone is so extrelemy successful only because some sort of self-imagined super marketing effort from Apple? :)
"Dude you complain about an Apple bias in the world in every one of your post, what does this topic have to do with Apple."
Actually I dont, and my comment was:
"They need to be on offense, and they need to learn from Motorola and Verizon as to how to get major buzz going for a phone in a media with too many Apple-worshiping "journalists"."
I wont bother to get into diagramming sentences, but part of the subject of that sentence was about journalists.
What does "Apple worshiping journalists" have to do with this post. Like I said keep living in la la land that Apple and the world is coming to get you and Microsoft.
@HighestRanked In my corporation the BlackBerry Army was shown the door and we were all given shiny new WinMo devices. "In the current cost environment we can achieve significant cost reductions utilizing the Windows Phone platform..."
The Rip is the latest addition to the Boogie eWriter line, devices that let you scribble notes and drawings and can be wiped away with the press of a button.

@Alan Strangis Medias on WM7 is based on Zune...

"
Look at the leader of the Windows Jihad finding a way to squeeze Apple into his post, bloody idiot. "
Windows Jihad? Reeeealy? Am I honestly trying to get you to use MS products?
Newsflash: I really dont care what you use.
Most of the post was talking about MS's problems, and the shot was not even at Apple.

@Goona
And you can't help but post in nearly every MS related article, despite an obvious hatred of the company.
What does that say about you?

@Goona That poor boy Lay is traumatized at how much Apple is kicking butt whil MS can't do anything to win.
@jon
Yes every one of my posts is talking about Microsoft, another idiot.
@HighestRanked
It seems he's having nightmares about Apple, to him it's all a big conspiracy against Microsoft.

uhm... on what planet? Here on Earth RIM has been wiping the floor clean with WinMo for years with their Blackberry army.
