  Zune was canceled, uncanceled, and canceled again within 24 hours,
IIRC.  Microsoft has introduced and killed at least two different
mobile DRM platforms and is now on their third.  Windows
Pen/CE/Pocket/Mobile/Phone has been re-org'ed so many times it's
dizzying.  And of course there are the Kin and Sidekick fiascos, which
still count, even if you would prefer to just dismiss them.

  So yah, I think it's fair to be cautious when it comes to Microsoft
and their mobile strategy.  While the current Win Phone thrust is
definitely the strongest showing they've turned in yet, their track
record in this market stinks.
