Windows Phone 7 Sales Continue To Struggle
rtfa-troll writes "Even with the pre-Christmas buying rush, Microsoft is already desperately offering a new buy one get one free offer similar to the ones they gave for the KIN. According to the article, 'Windows Phone 7 devices can't even manage two per cent of the fortnight's sales.' These aren't official Microsoft figures; they come from online shopping sites. But since Microsoft official sales figures seem subject to manipulation, this is perhaps one of the better guesses we will get at the success of Windows Phone 7 until well into next year. This also strongly backs up other reports of deeply disappointing phone sales. Even Microsoft supporters have been wondering for a while whether it's time for Ballmer to go. If the sales reports are true, then he may be pushed before he jumps."
Somehow I'm not surprised that some jackass would mod that troll. What's next modding something troll for pointing out the sky is blue?
Tell me where I can get the equivalent of a 2011 Chrysler 300 SRT/8 for $50k or less please. Don't waste my time if it has less than 400hp.
If I didn't have absolutely NOTHING to do, I wouldn't be here.
And every year you'll still wonder why Loonix still isn't accepted by anyone except sad pathetic nerds.
.... and corporations, and Google, and Microsoft WTF, etc.

Yeah, this site is a joke on anything computing related. It's a combination of willful ignorance and laughable partisanship. I hang around mostly to mock the neckbeards, myself, but there are occasional good articles outside the circle of jerking computing.
I used to post stuff like this anonymously for karma but I stopped giving a shit about what most of these clueless dweebs think some time back.
My personal theory is that if I post as myself and some angry dweeb can mod me down with his +1 Modding Wand of Bearded Necking and cackle that he "got me", I may be preventing him from putting on his "~> kill -1 $YOU" T-shirt, grabbing his semi-automatic AK rifle, and going on a killing rampage.
Just give some click drone a full Windows disk and a clean computer, I'll bring the chips :)
