> Microsoft has been delaying the release of its SDK for third-party developers to build apps for the phone...
Oh thank you so much for giving me an evil flashback to a dim and distant time, nearly 30 years ago, when I was trying to create a book on programming for OS2 (look it up, children) using Microsoft's developer "documentation" which was never updated as the alpha code changed. Ended up reverse-engineering every system call to correct their mistakes and omissions. Never, never, <i>never</i>, I swore then, make your career dependent on Microsoft for <i>anything</i>; they'll always let you down.
<i>Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose</i>, it would seem.

Yes, your one 30yr(or 20?) old anectode invalidates all the tens of thousands of profitable programs, games, and literally millions of people who made and still make their living with Microsoft technologies.
