If you are talking OS then Windows Mobile is number 4 worldwide after Symbian and then Linux and then the iPhone OS. Sales of iPhone OS devices (which includes almost as many iPod Touches as iPhones) surpassed the sale of all Windows Mobile devices in 2008.

The Zune is a strange prize for a company, but I imagine that this is still valuable:

“Networks in Motion will receive ‘early placement’ in Windows Marketplace for Mobile once it’s launched”

Even though they don’t have the momentum, buzz or appeal of the AppStore right now, that’s still worth a fair chunk of income for the company.

Disclaimer: I own an iPhone and like it.

OMG, if I knew they were giving away Zune’s, I would have entered my cold-fusion powered OS holobands.

I would agree that you are uninformed. They are already profitable. Your novel idea to support other OS platforms is rediculous, it translates to giving away profit, not increasing it. But stealing underpants is always good.

I wouldn’t be so dismissive of Microsoft. They have a record of success in OS markets that is dominate.
They took Apples idea of the visual OS and out sold them, dominating market share.
They took Novells idea of the comodity based network server and not only dominated the market, but beat them into submission.
Then xbox, you get the idea. I know you fanboy don’t recognize this fact, but Microsoft is good at being sucessful, even thoughyou seem to only acknowledge their failures.
They are good.

here’s my uninformed 2 cents’ worth of advice for microsoft:

step 1
- make apple apps work on windows mobile.
- make j2me apps work on windows mobile.
- make android apps work on windows mobile.
- make symbian apps work on windows mobile.
- steal underpants.

step 2
?

step 3
profit!

Networks In Motion…. Research In Motion……. there’s gotta be some legal issues about that.

the smartphone OS market.

“Microsoft’s numerical dominance of the smartphone market”??

Um, Microsoft has never dominated the smartphone market – that would be Nokia or if you are thinking only of the USA then that would be RIM.

Heck Apple sold more iPhones than all Windows Mobile manufacturers combined in Q3 2008.

“The startup was one of six finalists – selected out of a pool of 50 applications” – wow, Microsoft had people knocking down their doors to participate – 50 applications!

“winner also took home a Zune music player” – now I understand why.
