You're missing the point...
Geeks don't want to be locked down...
And Microsoft doesn't necessarily want geeks as customers. They want people who will buy the apps and play their games. Not someone who will hack the OS and make it customizable. Which is why most Geeks (myself included) are on Android devices.
Seriously... Therre's no money in customizeable for them... They want (app)le money.
They will continue to build and lock down their OS. And make it cool right out of the box. Your working mom and your powerhouse teen is who they want.
I don't even think they really care about the business man when it comes to WP7.
Hence Windows embeded.
I'll say it again.
Microsoft doesn't care about US!!! But that doesn't mean that they are doomed.
That means that Android will be getting more old WinMo users and young nerds.
p.
*EDIT...
See... Even Google is mad that you aren't buying apps.
