Microsoft Outlines Windows Phone 7 Development Platform
Microsoft learned something from APPLE.
There are 2 things that Microsoft has seemingly learned and are implementing in Windows 7.
1. Market place. People don't like the Iphone for the Iphone, they like it because it works so well with Itunes.
2.Have a strict standard, how many phones run the Iphone OS...one the Iphone, so Apple doesn't have to spend wasted money tweaking its os for everything single phone model that wants to use it os. It only has to deal with one. By having strict standards they can devote all that xtra time to putting to use ideas from the people over at xda. 😁

1. Microsoft already knew that, they just weren't good at it. They already tried their own mediaplayer and Zune, and they just sucked.
2. Only selling an OS on your own hardware is not quite the same as having strict standards, it is just avoiding the issue by thinking small. This is an area where Apple could learn something from Microsoft, and it's the reason why Apple is not as big as Microsoft. I don't think Bill Gates would want to go back in time and follow Apple's appliance-based model of OS sales.

Having strict standards is basically going 90% the same route as building your own hardware. I mean literally, their only option is whether or not you want a physical keyboard.
The only reason Microsoft isn't building their own hardware (ala Zune) is because there's no way in hell they could achieve market penetration this late in the game- especially given their track record with the Zune. But they're pretty much aping the iPhone's development model (as opposed to say, Android's.)
