Hi Mark

That's exactly what I see when people use the Windows Phone - they understand it right away because of the simplicity and the superior graphic design - including a perfect font and beautiful ring tones made by musicians (my favourite is 19 Bell which is a pure joy to listen to).

MSFT has been lazy and stupid at many occasions through the years but the Metro project is the opposite; a master-piece in visual design and use, only possible by hard work from a team of highly skilled people with 100% backup from the management. This is why I say "don't ever underestimate MSFT". Just watch the videos about the Metro design (links published here several times). It takes some courage to dismount all the useless 3D-stuff - which have gone too far - and return to 2D.

Then again, that's the way it's ALWAYS BEEN. Users can't tell you how to
build a great app or interface....
They just know it when they see it....and use it.
No reason Balmer & Company can't pull off an Ipad killer.
No reason at all except for laziness or stupidity.
