Look man, I'm starting to wonder if you're serious or just some troll...
I posted the confirmation. You played the ignorant card and acted like you didn't know what it meant. You tried to dismiss it as not being relevant, or being outdated. But you can't do that if your entire argument is based on a comparison to the very numbers I posted. If you are going to eliminate my numbers from the argument, then all you can look at is THIS year's sales, in which Microsoft is selling a ton of licenses. The Touch Pro 2 is the hottest business device on the market right now, and I posted that link too. The only reason people say the sales are not good, is because they aren't as good as last year's sales- which are the exact figures I posted and you are saying aren't relevant. You can't have it both ways, either the numbers are relevant or they aren't.
I provided a link already that showed Microsoft set their all time record in 2008. That is just last year, for those who can't count.
Do you need me to provide a link that proves most device subsidies are on 2 year contracts? Or can we accept that as common knowledge?
Assuming we accept that as common knowledge, lets now add 2 years to the 2008 figure. What do we have? We're right in the middle of the contracts all of those record sales signed last year. What does that mean? MS has more Windows Mobile licenses out there right now than ever before. And when those contracts are up, where does that leave us? Just in time for the release date of WM 7. So now we know that MS has a record number users locked into 2 year agreements, and when those agreements are up it will be just in time for the release of WM 7.
Now, do you have some current proof that evidence that says otherwise? And don't post any numbers that reference my last year numbers if you are just going to write mine off as being old and outdated. Because MS is still selling licenses. The only way it appears they are declining is when you start comparing the current sales to last year's (record) sales.
Nice try, but epic fail. I'm still waiting on you to post a link from a business or investment pro that shares your opinion. I could easily write my own biased blog and post a link to it. That doesn't mean crap. Show me where even ONE business or investment pro actually agrees with your opinion though.
