Microsoft misses 20-million-license goal

They're still doing ok in the grand scheme marketshare wise, but they're definitely taking a pounding mindshare-wise between the iPhone and Blackberries (and that's just domestically.) Despite attempts to have functionality in both areas, each of those seem to be catering toward two different markets, consumer and enterprise. The current WM obviously caters almost exclusively toward the latter. But it'll be interesting to see how much WM7 tries to reach out to the consumer market. We've all seen the screenshots and it looks very nice, but will the entertainment functionality and ease-of-use (for non-techies) actually be there?

On a personal note I'd KILL for integrated Zune player functionality in any version of WM. It's the best media player interface out there by far and would work perfectly with the d-pad nearly every WM phone already has. I'd love to see this on WM6 at some point, but they deserve to be shot if it doesn't happen in WM7.
