I agree but, instead of dumping money into WM, they just kept the same model but, it hit their target market. Mostly corporate people are where WM is pretty big as Apple does not even really touch this market. It's between blackberry and Microsoft for that croud.
Apple really opened the doors, because the "smartphone" started to become accepted by everyone, not just business or hobbiest (like us).
When Apple started selling tons of them, then with the Apple store selling tons of apps, they started the path that everyone will follow, Android did and Microsoft is too with WP7...(and started with 6.5)
Everyone else takes 2-3 times before they get it right, Microsoft it takes 7.....
Don't worry about the marketing thing, this fall (within a month of release), you won't be able to turn on a TV or radio with out hearing something about WP7
