Oh for crying out loud. It's been out a year with a strong Mango release and a next release in the works.
People on this list are perfectly aware about the issues with Kin being somewhat internal MS fight and re-org happening at a time of change. Unlike with a single vendor Kin, there are multiple hw partners and an OEM licensing program in a model MS is familier with from it's Windows Mobile days as well as their desktop/server OS model. Microsoft still has Brandon Watson doing his celebrity challenges, their updated iPhone/Android app porting kit, the upcoming ad compaign (finally) with Nokia and other hw venders.
