Well, remember, Microsoft does not make PCs, they make software for the PCs, when a new OS comes out (check Vista and Windows 7), they spend big $$$ on advertising. Are you telling me you don't see any of the Windows 7 ads on TV ? You must not be watching TV.

Microsoft normally leaves the advertising to the vendors, as MS is not going to pay to sell companies hardware. It is the same for PocketPC and Windows Moble (pre 6.5)

As for the discussion on hand...

This will make or break Windows Phone 7, Microsoft needs to go big or go home here...

They need to promote, Business, gaming and facebook etc. They need to play on everything Apple and google has done but, better.

If MS gets this wrong...bye bye WP....
