Wasn't Larry Ellison a good friend of Steve Jobs?
Is it possible that the whole Oracle Java thing is simply 'Steve Job's going thermonuclear' on Google/Android?
Simple, they had a big pair of blinkers on... and for some reason thought C# is the best thing since sliced bread for all circumstances. I said from day one as a biased C++ Windows CE programmer, they had a major brain fart when they decided not to support C++ on WP7. I really think it was simply "lets force developers to use C# that will differentiate us, because our dev tools are world-class", which is true in some respect but they missed the bigger picture which the last 3 parent posts hit hammer to nail on.
Look at all the videos of the sub-standard games on WP7, they are extremely laggy and due to the nature of.NET CF, I am sure developers have very little scope for optimisation.
This stems from what seems to be a deep cultural problem in their organisation. I personally think they hit rock bottom when a myriad of windows mobile/ce developer blogs were silenced all of a sudden. It was like the dev teams were trying desperately to interact and build a community, when some executive realised that their shit stunk so bad they had shut-up avoid further embarrassment.
So even if the fish's head is rotten at the top, they are swimming in their own filth and can't do much about it.
Actually 3 is more like 'Customer picked "mashed Peter Cottontail" and 5
"Microsoft learns that when a customer is asking for breakfast, also show "mashed Peter CottonTail" as well.
This is downright unfair - I hope Microsoft get sued... at the very least we all know 'imitation is the sincerest form or flattery'...
He/she's not talking about the hardware, its about the software!
The O/S is junk, people are in a state of denial. Try and enter a URL in landscape mode in IE, I mean COME ON!!!
Also, dotNET lockin is one of the most stupid things they could have done, even iOS and Android understand the value of C/C++ (opengl) to game developers.
Not only that, they didn't have the tenacity to turn the touchscreen off during a call with a 2cent light sensor.
I used to love guessing which application will launch during a call with my.
Of course they share something, they're all rooted and I mean rooted in glorious COW... Character Oriented Windows... The precursor to Win16/Win32/WinCE and NT which is running on Xbox.

Apparently it cost around 150million to develop the first iPhone... In a strange irony, Microsoft funded it! hahaha

Yep, 9.999999999% with +/- 500% tolerance.
