Microsoft did some petty things that kind of helped kill Windows Phones in business. Cisco (and other VoIP switches) use a specific .wav codec for voice mail attachments in email. Microsoft didn't want to support that particular codec. So they tried to pressure Cisco into changing their codec. Cisco declined, saying that this codec *is* the standard in VoIP (Android and iOS support it, as did Windows Phone through v7.5). So the corporation where my brother works stopped a high-end Windows Phone migration in mid-stream (when they found out Microsoft had no intention in supporting this particular .wav flavor), and they went with Samsung Galaxy phones instead. This was a common reason Windows Phones were not adopted in corporations that used Cisco (and other brand) VoIP phones. Just pure pettiness and stupidity.
