Well, you have to remember, Android got into the game at the right time. They came at a time where they could take advantage of modern technology and create a beautiful product that's customizable and also nice looking. Microsoft has been in it for over 10 years now, and since they've always been a company who supports backwards compatibility the best they can, they've strived to support that all the way through WM6.5. Now we're seeing a new MS that is throwing away everything and starting from scratch with something that IMO is a junk media and social networking based OS. I really think that the iPhone OS4 is going to blow WP7 out of the water, and MS will shift their market share to 10 year olds who are getting their first "cool" cell phone. However, I think Android will eventually dominate the market. It's cheaper, it's more powerful, it's more customizable, and it's open source. It can't lose.
