Ummm... nothing you have quoted here supports the assertion of "massive traction" The fact that Nokia "picked" it going forward demonstrates absolutely nothing regarding actual adoption rates in the future. Number one selling phone in Holland, seriously? That's your data point?

So, it's going to settle into "the third spot" of essentially, well, ummm... three major mobile OSes, uh... ok...

Look, I generally agree with most posters in this thread; stick with Win 7 on the PC (I patently reject the "you must go all in" concept, that's utterly ridiculous) and move to iPhone if that is the desire. But W7 mobile, uh no, I'll pass on that.
