My prediction is that it will
never happen. The future may bring surprises, but I just don't see it. People seem allergic to Windows; the last thing they want, is to be pestered by Windows on their mobile devices, too, after struggling with them (especially Windows 8) on their work machines. People seem to associate Windows primarily with
work (and
bugs), not
fun.
As to me, I have years of
traumatic experiences with a slew of Windows Mobile devices behind me. The iPhone revolution really was a deliverance. I'll just never forgive MS for the years of trauma inflicted on me in the buggy WM years; it doesn't matter that W8 is a brand-new system. If MS donate a high-end W8 device to me, as compensation for the years of acute suffering... well, perhaps I might give it a go. But to
buy such a device...? No freaking way.
iOS 7 is currently starting to infuriate me similarly to Windows Mobile back in its days. Honestly: if the apps were there and it was feasible, I'd ditch iOS and move on to Android right this minute. But it's not yet the right time to make the switch.
